Which statement about dashed white pavement marking is correct?

Which statement about dashed white pavement marking is correct?

• A. You cannot cross or pass
• B. One direction of traffic
• C. You can cross or pass
• D. You must stop at all times

Answer: (C)

Dashed white markings between lanes moving in the same direction signal that lane changes and passing are allowed when it’s safe. Because the line is dashed, you’re permitted to cross it to pass slower traffic or to merge into another lane, as long as you have enough space, check for clearance, and signal your intention. This is in contrast to solid lines, which indicate you should not cross. So the correct idea is that you can cross or pass when you see a dashed white line, provided safety conditions are met.
