What does a dashed white line between lanes indicate about passing?

• A. You may pass or change lanes when safe to do so.
• B. It means you must not pass.
• C. It indicates a bike lane.
• D. It indicates a bus lane.

Answer: (A)

A dashed line between lanes shows that passing or changing lanes is allowed when it’s safe. You can move to the adjacent lane to overtake a slower vehicle or to set up for a turn, but you must only do so if you have a clear view, enough space, and there’s no oncoming traffic. Before moving, signal, check your mirrors, and look over your shoulder to confirm the lane is clear. After you’ve passed, return to your original lane as soon as it’s safe. Remember, you must not cross a solid line, and bike or bus lanes have their own rules.
