Question: A solid yellow line painted on your side of the centre line means:

Answer options:

• Passing allowed ✅ Passing not allowed in your direction
• Bus lane
• Bike lane

Correct answer: Passing not allowed in your direction

Explanation: Under Alberta road rules, yellow lines separate traffic moving in opposite directions. A solid yellow line on your side of the centre line indicates that passing is unsafe and legally prohibited in your direction of travel. Conversely, a broken line would permit passing. The options for bus and bike lanes are incorrect because those specialized lanes are designated by overhead signs, curb markings, or painted diamond symbols rather than standard yellow centre lines. Recognizing pavement markings is essential for road safety and is a highly tested concept on the Alberta Class 7 knowledge exam, where candidates must quickly identify when it is legally safe to cross lines.
