Passing is controlled by lane markings. A dashed line shows you may change lanes or pass when it’s safe; solid lines mean you must stay in your lane. The color helps you know which direction is being separated: white lines separate lanes in the same direction, yellow lines separate two-way traffic. In this situation, a dashed white line in your driving lane tells you you’re allowed to pass when there’s no oncoming traffic and you can complete the maneuver safely. A solid line would forbid passing, a dashed yellow line can permit passing but only under conditions related to opposing traffic, and a solid white line always means you should not cross. So the dashed white line is the best indicator that passing is permitted when safe.
