When is passing permitted on a two-lane road?

Passing on a two-lane road is permitted when there is a broken line on your side. This indicates that you are legally allowed to move into the opposing lane to pass another vehicle, as long as it is safe to do so. The broken line serves as a visual cue that the road is designed for such maneuvers, provided that there are no oncoming vehicles and visibility conditions are adequate.

In contrast, a solid line indicates that passing is not allowed on that section of the road for safety reasons, typically due to possible hazards such as curves, intersections, or limited visibility. The notion of passing only on weekends is not a regulation and does not pertain to road markings or traffic laws, making it irrelevant. Similarly, while light traffic might make passing easier, it does not establish a legal basis for when passing is allowed – that is determined strictly by road markings and traffic laws.
