Question: 1 / 400

Under which circumstance is it illegal to pass another vehicle on a two-lane highway?

When nearing a hill

When there is a dashed yellow line

When a solid yellow line is on your side

Passing another vehicle on a two-lane highway is illegal when a solid yellow line is on your side of the road. The solid yellow line indicates that passing is prohibited because it is unsafe to do so. This is often due to limited visibility or other hazards present that could make overtaking the vehicle difficult and dangerous.

In contrast, a dashed yellow line indicates that passing is permitted, as it signals that the road conditions allow for a safe maneuver. Additionally, while nearing a hill can present visibility challenges that make passing unsafe, it is the presence of a solid yellow line that legally prohibits the action. Slow-moving traffic does not itself determine legality regarding passing; the defining factor remains the road markings.
