Lines that separate lanes of traffic that move in the same direction are white. Lines that separate traffic that moves in opposite directions are yel- low. There may be two lines between lanes and lines can be solid or broken. Read Chapter 6 for the Rules on how to pass other vehicles. 

What some lane lines indicate: 

One broken line:  You can pass other vehicles or change lanes if you can do so safely without interfering with traffic.

Solid line with broken line:  If you are on the side with the solid line, you cannot pass other vehicles or go across the line except to make a left turn into a driveway. If you are on the side with the broken line, you can pass if it is safe to and you will not interfere with traffic.

Double solid lines:  You cannot pass or change lanes. You cannot go across the lines except to turn left to enter or leave the highway (e.g. to or from a driveway or to do a U-turn, see Chapter 5).

One solid line:  You can pass other vehicles or change lanes, but you can only do so when ob- structions in the road or traffic conditions make it necessary.

Stop and Crosswalk Lines:  At an intersection controlled by a STOP sign, YIELD sign or 

traffic light, there can be a white stop line painted across the lane, (called a Stop Line) and/or two parallel lines painted across the road (called a Crosswalk). When required to stop be- cause of a sign or light, you must stop before you reach the stop line, if there is one, or the crosswalk. You need only stop at a stop line or crosswalk if required to by a light, sign or traffic officer, or to yield to a pedestrian, in-line skater or scooter at a 

marked or unmarked crosswalk. A single stop line may be placed at intersections to allow room for larger vehicles (such as tractor-trailers, buses, and trucks) to turn without forcing other traffic to back up. It’s important that you stop before you reach this stop line (See “Pedestrians” in Chapter 11). 

Arrows:  Arrows show which lanes you must use. In this illustration, for example, you can turn right only from the right lane. To go straight, you must use the left lane. You must be in the correct lane before you reach the solid line that separates  the lanes.
