What is the function of a dashed yellow line on your side of the center road line?
A dashed yellow line on your side of the center of the road indicates that passing is permitted when it is safe. The broken nature of the line means that visibility and oncoming traffic conditions have been assessed by traffic authorities to be conducive for overtaking safely. Adherence to this marking ensures that passing maneuvers do not compromise road safety or lead to collisions with oncoming vehicles.
