Which statement is true about crossing a solid yellow line?

• A. Can Cross It
• B. Cannot Cross It
• C. Must Cross It
• D. Should Cross It

Answer: (A)

Crossing a solid yellow line is not allowed for passing. The solid yellow center line signals a no-passing zone on a two-way road, so you should stay in your lane and wait for a safe opportunity to pass only if the line becomes dashed in your lane or you’re turning left where permitted. You may cross a solid yellow line only for turning left into a driveway, private road, or onto another street in a manner that doesn’t involve passing another vehicle. In short, this statement about crossing the solid line to pass is not true, because the line’s purpose is to prohibit passing in that area.
