What does a double solid line indicate?

A double solid line indicates that no passing is permitted in either direction. This marking is used on roadways to emphasize the importance of safety and to prevent drivers from attempting to overtake other vehicles. It signifies that the road conditions, visibility, or other factors may be hazardous for passing, and that staying in your lane is the safest option. The presence of a double solid line is a clear communication from traffic authorities, indicating that any attempt to pass could lead to unsafe situations, including potential head-on collisions. The restriction applies to all vehicles, ensuring uniform safety measures are upheld regardless of the type of vehicle or driver experience.
