On a two-lane roadway with one lane in each direction, what does a broken center yellow line mean?

A broken center yellow line tells you that passing is allowed when it’s safe. On a two-lane road, crossing into the opposite lane to pass is permitted as long as you have a clear view of oncoming traffic and enough time to complete the maneuver and return to your lane before meeting any vehicle. Always check for visibility—around curves, hills, or near intersections—signal your intent, and don’t pass if you can’t safely finish the pass. The other options don’t fit because a dashed line indicates possible passing, not a ban or a bicycle-only restriction.
