What does a broken yellow line indicate?

A broken yellow line on the road indicates that passing is permitted if it is safe to do so. This marking allows drivers to cross the line to overtake another vehicle when they have a clear line of sight and can do so without endangering themselves or other road users. It is important to assess the traffic and road conditions before making a maneuver across this line, ensuring that it is truly safe to pass. This rule encourages safer driving practices by providing visual guidance on when overtaking is acceptable, helping to maintain the flow of traffic while minimizing risks.
