A broken yellow line indicates a passing zone. It is illegal to cross a double yellow line, unless you are avoiding an obstruction in your lane. So passing zones are marked out where driver's can safely pass one another (usually areas where you can see at least a mile down the road).
When the broken yellow is on your side of the road, you are legally allowed to pass the vehicle in front of you, if you can do it safely. If the broken yellow is on the other lane (your side has a single yellow line), you may not cross into the next lane.

∙ 7y agoIn the United States, a broken yellow line in the middle of the road indicates you can see far enough ahead to check for oncoming traffic to safely pass a slower vehicle in front of you. It is still your responsibility to ensure there is no oncoming traffic and that you can safely pass the slower vehicle in front of you before any oncoming traffic reaches you.
