What Is a Permissive Condition Driving

Protected/Permissive — Vehicles are given a protected phase (green arrow), or a permissive (circular green or flashing yellow arrow) phase, when drivers must choose an adequate gap in opposing traffic. This type of control, when used with a circular green, is commonly signed “left turn yield on green”.

Can a vehicle turning left be passed on the right?

So in your question, it depends on the width of the traffic lane that the vehicle ahead of you is waiting in before making its left turn. You can pass on the right if you do so safely by not leaving the paved portion of the road and don’t drive to the right of the edge line.

What does a broken yellow line mean?

Line Colors Solid yellow lines mark the center of a road used for two-way traffic. Broken yellow lines indicate that you may pass if the broken line is next to your driving lane. Two solid yellow lines indicate no passing.
