What does a broken yellow line on your side of the center line mean?

Passing is allowed if it is safe.
Passing is not allowed.
Passing is allowed for vehicles traveling at the speed limit.
Passing is allowed only in designated passing zones.

The correct answer is: Passing is allowed if it is safe.

A broken yellow line on your side of the center line means that passing is allowed if it is safe to do so. It does not mean that passing is always allowed, as there may be other factors such as oncoming traffic or a blind curve that would make passing unsafe. It also does not mean that passing is allowed for vehicles traveling at the speed limit, as the speed of oncoming traffic and overall road conditions should also be taken into consideration. Additionally, passing is allowed only in designated passing zones, so it is important to pay attention to road signs and markings to determine where passing is allowed.
