In California, when are you allowed to drive to the left of two solid yellow lines?

Correct answer

  • Never
  • When you are in a carpool/HOV lane with a designated entrance on the left
  • When you are passing another vehicle

Explanation

Two solid yellow lines indicate no passing. You may not cross these lines except to make a left turn. However, in California, there is one exception to this usual rule: You may drive to the left of these lines if you are in a carpool/HOV lane that has a designated entrance on the left.
