What does a solid yellow lane marking mean?

traffic is going in different directions, driver may pass only when no traffic is coming from the other direction
traffic is going in different directions, do not attempt lane change
traffic is going the same direction, do not attempt lane change
traffic is going the same direction, driver may switch lanes

The correct answer is: traffic is going in different directions, driver may pass only when no traffic is coming from the other direction

A solid yellow lane marking typically indicates that traffic is going in different directions and drivers may pass only when there is no traffic coming from the opposite direction. This type of marking serves as a warning to drivers to be cautious and avoid attempting any lane changes that could result in a head-on collision. It is important for drivers to be aware of and follow the rules associated with different lane markings to ensure safety on the road. Option B is incorrect because it does not specify that passing may be allowed when the way is clear, which is an important part of the meaning of a solid yellow lane marking. Option C is incorrect as it indicates that traffic is going in the same direction, which is not the case for a solid yellow lane marking. Option D is incorrect because a solid yellow lane marking usually does not permit lane changes in the depicted area, unless it is necessary to pass and there is no traffic approaching from the opposite direction.
