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

No passing allowed.
Passing is allowed if it is safe.
Passing is allowed for vehicles traveling at the speed limit.
Passing is allowed for emergency vehicles only.

The correct answer is: No passing allowed.

A solid yellow line on your side of the center line indicates that passing is not allowed. This is because a solid yellow line means that there is a no passing zone. Passing in these zones is dangerous as it increases the risk of collisions with oncoming vehicles. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because all of them suggest passing is allowed in some capacity, while in reality, a solid yellow line means passing is not allowed. It is important to adhere to this traffic rule for the safety of all drivers on the road.
