A solid yellow line next to a broken yellow line means that vehicles next to the broken line may pass. The yellow lines define the road as two way, traffic opposing each other. The side of the road with the solid yellow line facing it is a no-passing zone, while the opposite side of the road, with the intermittent line facing it, passing is permitted.

Yellow lines mark the center of a road used for two-way traffic.
To indicate that it is the left side of the road. If you see a yellow line on your right you are driving in the oncoming traffic lane. When the yellow line is on the edge of the road you are on a divided roadway and the median is to the left of the yellow line. You will find a white line on the right side of the road. When the yellow line is in the center of the road you are driving on a two-way undivided roadway. Again, if the yellow line is on your right you are in the oncoming traffic lane.
A double solid yellow line in the center of the highway is there to separate the two directions of traffic. In most cases, you should not cross that line. On a two-lane road where passing is allowed, one line (or both) will usually become a dashed yellow line. Some locales do not allow turns off the highway across a double yellow line.
it isn't a specific line, it is the road. it doesn't do anything except to provide space in between the two solid yellow lines.Added: In some cases there IS an identifiable black line between the two solid lines - what that is, is where the highway department has painted out the old previous line markings and replaced/repainted the road with the new visible ones (e.g.: perhaps changed the markings from a 'passing' zone to a 'no-passing' zone).
