Two lanes are separated by a yellow center line. What does the color tell you about their traffic?
Correct answer: The lanes carry traffic in opposite directions.
Yellow center lines separate opposing traffic. The pattern of the lines and the road situation determine whether passing is permitted.

A white lane line separates two adjacent travel lanes. What does that color normally indicate?
Correct answer: The lanes carry traffic in the same direction.
White lane lines separate same-direction lanes. Their color has a different meaning from yellow center lines separating opposing flows.

A two-way road has the single broken yellow center line shown. What does the marking permit?
Correct answer: Passing from either direction when the maneuver is otherwise safe and lawful.
A broken yellow center line identifies a passing-permitted section in both directions. It does not remove the need for a clear view, a safe gap, and compliance with other restrictions.

You are in the lane beside the solid yellow line in this pair. What does that mean for passing a slower car?
Correct answer: You must not cross the center lines for that pass.
The center-line pattern applies according to the line nearest your lane. A solid yellow line on your side prohibits passing across it.

You are beside the broken yellow line, with a solid yellow line beyond it. How does the marking affect a proposed pass?
Correct answer: Passing may be allowed from your side if traffic, visibility, and other rules permit.
A broken line on your side permits a pass when safe and otherwise lawful. Drivers on the solid-line side do not have the same passing permission.

What do the two solid yellow center lines tell drivers who want to pass an ordinary car?
Correct answer: Passing across the lines is prohibited in both directions.
Double solid yellow lines establish a no-passing section for both traffic directions. This item concerns overtaking a car, not a separate left-turn maneuver.

What does the broken white line between the two same-direction lanes indicate?
Correct answer: A lane change is permitted when it can be made safely.
A broken white line allows lane changes but does not give the changing driver priority. Check traffic and signal before crossing it.

According to the Nevada handbook, how should you treat this single solid white line between same-direction lanes?
Correct answer: Remain in your lane rather than crossing it to change lanes or pass.
The Nevada handbook directs drivers not to change lanes or pass across a solid white lane divider. This question concerns a same-direction lane boundary, not a white edge line.

In the diagram, what does the solid white line along the far-right edge identify?
Correct answer: The edge of the roadway or shoulder boundary.
The solid white edge line shows the outside edge of the travel lane. It is not a center line or another ordinary through-lane boundary.

What is the main purpose of the center lane marked with opposing left-turn arrows and solid/broken yellow boundaries?
Correct answer: Left turns by traffic from either direction.
The shared center lane serves left turns from either direction. It is not a through or passing lane; enter only for the turn and watch for opposing vehicles.

A broad white stop line is painted before an intersection controlled by a STOP sign. What does that line show?
Correct answer: The position before which you should make the required stop.
The stop line locates the stopping point for the control. Stop before it, then assess the intersection and proceed only when safe.

At an intersection, you see no painted crosswalk lines. What should you conclude?
Correct answer: A crosswalk may still exist; remain alert for pedestrians.
Unmarked crosswalks can exist at intersections. Stay alert and yield to pedestrians as required even when there are no painted crosswalk lines.
