What does a dashed white line between lanes of traffic moving in the same direction allow?

• A. You may pass or switch lanes where it is safe to do so.
• B. You must yield to pedestrians.
• C. You must stop at the line.
• D. You must change lanes immediately.

Answer: (A)

A dashed white line between lanes moving in the same direction means you may pass or switch lanes where it is safe to do so. When you see this, check that the way ahead is clear, signal before changing lanes, and make sure the adjacent lane has enough space for you to move without cutting off another driver. This marking is about permissible lane changes; solid lines in your area would indicate you must not pass, and other rules (like yielding to pedestrians or stopping) are indicated by different signs or road markings.
