What does a solid yellow line on your side of the road mean?

A solid yellow line on your side of the road indicates that passing another vehicle is prohibited. This marking is used to enhance safety on roadways, particularly in areas where visibility is limited or where it may be dangerous to overtake another vehicle due to traffic conditions, curves, or other hazards. It serves as a warning for drivers, signaling that they must remain in their lane and cannot cross the line to pass, ensuring that they avoid potential collisions with oncoming traffic. This rule is especially important in maintaining orderly flow and minimizing accidents on the road.
