Which statement describes a dashed line between lanes?

• A. Stop sign ahead
• B. Traffic moving in opposite directions
• C. Traffic traveling in the same direction
• D. There is a bicycle lane ahead

Answer: (C)

A dashed line between lanes means you may pass or change lanes if it’s safe. This marking is used where the lanes carry traffic in the same direction, so crossing into the adjacent lane to pass a slower vehicle is allowed when you’ve checked for gaps, signaled, and ensured there’s enough room. If the line were solid, passing wouldn’t be allowed. The other statements aren’t indicated by a dashed lane mark: a stop sign ahead is shown by a sign, and a bicycle lane ahead is marked with bike symbols and signs, not by a dashed line between general lanes.
