What does a solid yellow line alongside a broken yellow line mean?

  1. Passing is allowed on the side with the solid line.

  2. Passing is not allowed.

  3. Passing is allowed on the side with the broken line.

  4. Passing is allowed in both directions.

The correct answer is: Passing is allowed on the side with the broken line.

A solid yellow line alongside a broken yellow line means that passing is allowed on the side with the broken line, but not on the side with the solid line. This is because the solid line indicates a no passing zone, while the broken line indicates a passing zone. Therefore, option A is incorrect as passing is not allowed on the side with the solid line. Option D is incorrect because passing is only allowed on one side, not both directions. Option B is incorrect because passing is allowed on the side with the broken line.
