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 the Quebec Highway Safety Code, a solid yellow line on your side of the centre line indicates that passing is prohibited in your direction because solid lines act as a visual barrier to overtaking. Conversely, passing is only permitted when the line on your side is broken. Bus and bicycle lanes are marked by distinctive white boundaries, pavement symbols like diamonds, or roadside signage, rather than yellow centre lines. Understanding pavement markings is highly relevant for the SAAQ written test, as questions on road lines frequently appear to ensure drivers can distinguish between permissive and restrictive road markings.
