A dashed white line between lanes indicates what?

• A. You may cross to pass or change lanes if it is safe.
• B. Lane changes are not allowed.
• C. You must yield to vehicles in the adjacent lane.
• D. You must turn on a signal.

Answer: (A)

Dashed white lines between lanes show that you may cross the line to pass or change lanes if it’s safe to do so. They mark lanes moving in the same direction and signal that lane changes are permitted when there’s enough room and no one in your blind spots. Before crossing, signal your intent, check mirrors, and look over your shoulder to confirm there’s a safe gap in the adjacent lane. If the line were solid, crossing would not be allowed. You should still use your turn signal when changing lanes, but the dashed marking itself indicates that changing lanes is permitted when it can be done safely.
