developing your smart driving skills Road markings Road markings give you warnings or direction. They are painted on the roadway, curbs or other  surfaces. It is illegal to drive over freshly painted, wet pavement markings. Yellow lines Yellow lines divide traffic moving in opposite directions. If there is a yellow line to your left, there  will be traffic coming towards you on the other side of that yellow line.  Broken line — passing is allowed when safe Broken line and solid line — you  may pass only when it is safe and  the broken line is on your side Double solid line — no passing allowed  Single yellow line — passing is allowed with extra caution Double broken yellow line — lane  is reversible — lane control signal  will show whether you may use this  lane  Two-way left-turn lane —  drivers travelling in opposite  directions share this lane for  left turns — markings may be  reversed (solid lines inside the  broken lines) 38
