What do you if your vehicle gets into trouble? - ✔✔Give other drivers plenty of warning that
you are pulling over.
Turn on your emergency flashers if you are not moving. If your vehicle does not have
emergency flashers, use your turn signals.
If possible, pull off the road away from all traffic.
If you cannot get completely off the road, stop where people can see you and your vehicle from
behind.
Do not stop just over a hill or just around a curve. Other drivers may not see your vehicle in
time to avoid a collision.
If it is safe to do so, lift the hood to signal an emergency.
Place emergency flares or triangles 200-300 feet behind your vehicle (if you have them). This
gives drivers time to change lanes if they need to. Be very careful when using flares. They may
cause fires, especially when used near flammable liquids.
Call for emergency roadside assistance, follow the above guidelines, and stay in your vehicle
until help arrives.
Single Solid Yellow Line - ✔✔Marks the center of a road with two-way traffic.Do not cross
over this line into oncoming traffic. Do not pass a vehicle in front of you if there is only one lane
of traffic going your direction and a solid yellow line on your side of the road.
,Double Solid Yellow Lines - ✔✔Do not pass over double solid yellow lines. Never drive to the
left of these lines unless you are:
In a high-occupancy vehicle(HOV) lane that has a designated entrance on the left.• Instructed
by construction or other signs to drive on the other side of the road because your side of the
road is closed or blocked.

or make a U-turn.
Two sets of solid double yellow lines spaced two or more feet apart are considered a barrier.
Do not drive on or over this barrier, make a left turn, or make a U-turn across it, except at
designated openings.

next to your driving lane. Only pass when it is safe.

direction. This includes one-way streets.
Double Solid White Lines - ✔✔Double solid white lines indicate a lane barrier between a
regular use and a preferential use lane (such as a carpool lane). You may also see double solid
white lines in or near freeway on and off ramps. Never change lanes over double solid white
lines. Wait until you see a single broken white line.
Broken White Line - ✔✔Broken white lines separate traffic lanes on roads with two or more
lanes in the same direction.
, End of Lane Markings - ✔✔Ending freeway and street lanes are usually marked with large
broken lines. If you are driving in a lane marked with broken lines,be prepared to exit the
freeway or for the lane to end. Look for a sign that tells you to exit or merge.

where to yield or stop. The triangles point towards approaching vehicles. A yield line is also
known as "shark's teeth."
