On a two-way road, which statement allows passing?

• A. The line on your side is broken
• B. The line on your side is solid
• C. The line on the other side is solid
• D. There is a sign permitting passing

Answer: (A)

Road markings tell you when passing is allowed. A broken line on your side means you may pass when it’s safe and clear of oncoming traffic. A solid line on your side means you must not pass. A solid line on the other side indicates the opposing lane is in a no‑passing zone, so you still shouldn’t pass. A sign permitting passing can designate a zone, but it doesn’t override the line rules you see on the pavement. So the statement that the line on your side is broken is the one that allows passing.
