Yellow lines — Nevada Permit Test
Yellow lines on the Nevada permit test — 4 rules, each with the reason behind it and a question on it while it is fresh.
The rules
Yellow lines separate lanes of traffic moving in opposite directions.
Crossing a yellow line puts you in the lane of cars coming straight at you.
Yellow lines separate lanes of traffic moving in opposite directions.
Broken yellow lines mean you may pass when it is safe to do so.
Passing where the line is solid means pulling out where the view ahead is too short to see oncoming cars.
Broken or dashed yellow lines mean you may pass when it is safe to do so
A solid yellow line also marks the left edge on multi-lane divided highways.
A driver who mistakes the left edge for a lane line can drift into the median at freeway speed.
A solid yellow line is also used to mark the left edge on multi-lane divided highways.
Double yellow lines mean you cannot pass if the lines on your side are solid.
The solid line is painted where hills or curves hide oncoming cars, so passing there risks a head-on crash.

On the test
What do yellow lines on the road separate?
Traffic moving in opposite directions. Crossing a yellow line puts you in the lane of cars coming straight at you. Nevada Driver Handbook, p.32: “Yellow lines separate lanes of traffic moving in opposite directions.”
How this works
Most practice tests hand you a bank of questions and leave the manual somewhere else. This one puts them together.
You read one law and the reason behind it, then answer a question on that law while it is still fresh. Get it right and you move on; get it wrong and you have found the gap while it is cheap to fix, not on the morning of the exam.
Learning one rule at a time, and proving it immediately, is what turns a manual you skimmed into something you actually know — and it makes studying feel like getting somewhere rather than like waiting to find out.
