What does a solid line on your side of the road indicate?

• A. You may cross the line to pass when no traffic is visible.
• B. You may cross the line to pass or change lanes where it is solid.
• C. You may pass another vehicle on a solid line if you are in a hurry.
• D. You may not cross the line to pass or change lanes where it is solid.

Answer: (D)

Solid lines on your side of the road mean you must stay in your lane and cannot cross to pass or change lanes. These markings are placed where visibility is restricted or where crossing could put you into head-on traffic, such as on bends, hills, or near intersections. Because crossing a solid line is risky and often illegal, you should not attempt to pass or switch lanes when you’re riding up against a solid line. You only pass or change lanes when the line in your lane becomes dashed (or when turning into a driveway or onto another road as allowed by the rules). In short, crossing a solid line to pass is not permitted.
