A broken line next to a solid line indicates that traffic in the lane with the broken line may not pass while traffic with the solid yellow line may pass. True or False?

The statement is false because a broken line next to a solid line indicates that traffic adjacent to the broken line is allowed to change lanes and pass, while traffic next to the solid line is not permitted to do so. Specifically, if you are in the lane with the broken line, you may change lanes and pass. However, vehicles in the lane next to the solid line must remain in their lane and may not pass. This pavement marking system is designed to provide clear guidance about where passing is permissible based on the proximity of the solid line, which restricts movement, and the broken line, which permits it. Understanding these markings is crucial for maintaining safe driving practices and ensuring compliance with traffic regulations.
