If you are turning onto a two-lane road divided by a broken yellow line, what can you infer?

  1. You are on a two-way road.

  2. You are on a one-way road.

  3. The road is under repair.

  4. You must stay to the left of the broken yellow lines.

The correct answer is: You are on a two-way road.

The inference that you are on a two-way road when encountering a two-lane road divided by a broken yellow line is accurate. The broken yellow line indicates that traffic is flowing in both directions, allowing vehicles to overtake or pass each other when safe to do so. This road configuration is designed to facilitate movement in both directions, while the presence of the broken yellow line indicates that lane changes and passing are permissible, distinguishing it from a one-way road. The presence of options regarding one-way roads or road repairs might mislead a learner, but knowing that a broken yellow line typically represents a two-way road helps in understanding road markings and their meanings. Staying left of the broken yellow lines is not a requirement as it indicates that both sides are available for travel in opposing directions.
