MEANINGS OF PAVEMENT MARKINGS


LINES — BROKEN LINES may be crossed in a passing maneuver.


— SOLID LINES should not be crossed in a passing maneuver.


COLORS — YELLOW separates traffic traveling in opposite directions.


— WHITE separates traffic traveling in the same direction.


DIRECTION OF TRAFFICIf the line on the left of you is YELLOW, the traffic on the other side of theline is moving in the OPPOSITE direction.


When the line on the left of you is WHITE the traffic is moving in theSAME direction. A solid white line marks the right edge of many roads.


The center marking for roads with four lanes consists of TWO SOLIDYELLOW LINES. The yellow lines tell you the traffic on the other side of the lines is moving in the opposite direction. You should never cross the two solid yellow lines to pass.

Two-lane roads may have "no passing zones" marked with a SOLID YELLOW LINENo passing zones are on hills or curves where you cannot see far enough ahead to pass safely. You must complete passing before you enter the no passing zone.

When you see a solid yellow line on your side of the center line, do not try

to pass. On any two-lane road, never pass if you cannot see the road is clear for the distance you need to make a pass, even if there is no marking on the roadway
