BC Class 5&7
Yellow and white lines
ICBC's driving guide: Signs, signals and road markings
One rule sorts every line on the road: yellow separates opposing traffic, white separates traffic going the same way. If there is a yellow line to your left, someone is coming towards you on the other side of it.
Yellow:
- Broken — passing is allowed when safe.
- Broken beside solid — you may pass only when it is safe and the broken line is on your side.
