When a broken yellow line runs alongside a solid yellow line, who is allowed to pass?

Answer options

Why

With this pair of lines, passing is permitted only for traffic on the broken-line side, and only when it is safe. Traffic on the solid-line side may not cross over to pass.

Tip The line nearest your own lane is the one that decides whether you may pass.
