Lanes of traffic moving in opposite directions are separated by what type of lines?

Lanes of traffic moving in opposite directions are separated by solid yellow lines. This line indicates that passing is not allowed for vehicles traveling in either direction. The presence of solid yellow lines serves as a clear visual cue to drivers that they should stay in their lane and not attempt to cross into oncoming traffic. This helps maintain safety on the road by preventing collisions caused by passing in areas where it is prohibited.

In contrast, solid white lines typically denote lanes of traffic moving in the same direction and indicate that lane changes are discouraged but not necessarily prohibited. Broken white lines also indicate lanes moving in the same direction, where lane changes are allowed. Double solid yellow lines, while indicating no passing is allowed, are often located where the traffic lanes are designated for traffic moving in opposite directions, further emphasizing the rules of roadway usage.
