Where are yellow center lines typically found?

1. On a one-way road

2. On a two-way road (no passing)

3. In parking lots

4. Along the edge of highways

The correct answer is: On a two-way road (no passing)

Yellow center lines are typically found on two-way roads where passing is not permitted. This is important for safety, as the yellow lines indicate the separation of opposing traffic and help to signal to drivers when they should not attempt to pass other vehicles due to insufficient visibility or other hazards. The use of a solid yellow line means that overtaking is dangerous and illegal, reinforcing the need for caution on these types of roads. In contrast, a one-way road would use white lines, as they separate lanes of traffic moving in the same direction. Parking lots do not typically use solid center lines to indicate travel direction. Lastly, edge lines along highways are usually marked in white, designating the boundary of the road rather than separating opposing flows of traffic. This clarity in marking contributes to safer driving conditions.
