Driver’s Manual | 31 Lines that separate lanes of traffic that move in  the same direction are white. Lines that separate  traffic that moves in opposite directions are yel- low. There may be two lines between lanes and  lines can be solid or broken. Read Chapter 6 for  the Rules on how to pass other vehicles. One broken line:  You can pass other vehicles  or change lanes if you can do so safely without  interfering with traffic. Double solid lines:  You cannot pass or change  lanes. You cannot go across the lines except to  turn left to enter or leave the highway (e.g. to or  from a driveway or to do a U-turn, see Chapter 5).  One solid line:  You can pass other vehicles or  change lanes, but you can only do so when ob- structions in the road or traffic conditions make it necessary.  Stop and Crosswalk Lines:  At an intersection  controlled by a STOP sign, YIELD sign or  traffic light, there can  be a white stop line  painted across the  lane, (called a Stop  Line) and/or two  parallel lines painted  across the road (called  a Crosswalk). When required to stop be- cause of a sign or light,  you must stop before  you reach the stop line,  if there is one, or the  crosswalk. You need  only stop at a stop line  or crosswalk if required  to by a light, sign or  traffic officer, or to yield  to a pedestrian, in-line  skater or scooter at a  marked or unmarked crosswalk. A single stop line  may be placed at intersections to allow room for  larger vehicles (such as tractor-trailers, buses, and  trucks) to turn without forcing other traffic to back  up. It’s important that you stop before you reach  this stop line (See “Pedestrians” in Chapter 11). Arrows:  Arrows show which lanes you must use.  In this illustration, for example, you can turn right  only from the right lane. To go straight, you must  use the left lane. You must be in the correct lane  before you reach the solid line that separates   the lanes. Solid line with broken line:  If you are on the side  with the solid line, you cannot pass other vehicles  or go across the line except to make a left turn  into a driveway. If you are on the side with the  broken line, you can pass if it is safe to and you  will not interfere with traffic. What some lane lines indicate:
