What is the legal meaning of a broken yellow line painted in the center of a two-lane roadway?
The answer
Answer: D. A broken yellow line painted in the roadway center separates traffic lanes traveling in opposite directions and permits passing when the oncoming lane is clear. Before passing, ensure you have sufficient distance to complete the maneuver and return to your lane safely. Never attempt to pass when approaching curves, hills, or intersections where forward visibility is restricted.

What does a single solid yellow line on your side of the center roadway marking indicate?
The answer
Answer: A. A single solid yellow line on your side of the center roadway marking means passing is strictly prohibited for your direction of travel. Colorado law allows drivers to cross this line only to turn left into a private road, driveway, or alley, or to pass a bicyclist with at least three feet of clearance. Passing other motor vehicles across a solid yellow line on your side is illegal.
