Why Are These Lines Painted Yellow?

Practice Permit Test
YELLOW LINES mark the center of a two-way road used for two-way traffic. You may pass on a two-way road if the yellow centerline is broken. When a solid and a broken yellow line are together, you must not pass if you are driving next to the solid line.

Why are yellow lines painted?

Explanation: These lines are often found on the approach to a roundabout or a dangerous junction. They give you extra warning to adjust your speed. Look well ahead and do this in good time.

What do yellow lines along the road mean?

Yellow lines along the road indicate there are waiting restrictions. Not only do they apply to the road but also the pavement and verges. You may stop to load, unload or for passengers to get in or out of the vehicle providing there are no signs saying so.
