A solid yellow line next to a broken yellow line means that vehicles next to the broken line may pass. The yellow lines define the road as two way, traffic opposing each other. The side of the road with the solid yellow line facing it is a no-passing zone, while the opposite side of the road, with the intermittent line facing it, passing is permitted.
In the USA: Two way traffic divider, passing (both sides) allowed.
The yellow solid line in the middle of the road means that you are to stay on your side of the road, no passing!
When the road is marked with a solid yellow line on your side, it indicates no passing is allowed. When there is a broken yellow line alongside the solid yellow line, it means passing is allowed only on the side with the broken line. Drivers should exercise caution and ensure it is safe to pass before doing so.

A broken yellow line indicates a passing zone. It is illegal to cross a double yellow line, unless you are avoiding an obstruction in your lane. So passing zones are marked out where driver's can safely pass one another (usually areas where you can see at least a mile down the road). When the broken yellow is on your side of the road, you are legally allowed to pass the vehicle in front of you, if you can do it safely. If the broken yellow is on the other lane (your side has a single yellow line), you may not cross into the next lane.
A broken yellow line indicates that you may pass using the opposite lane of traffic, whereas a solid yellow line indicates no passing. If the broken line is on your side, you can pass but cars traveling in the opposite direction can't. Usually the lay of the land (blind curves, hills, etc.) or anything else that would limit the drivers' view of the road up ahead determines whether or not passing is authorized.
in pa yes as long as its not through a intersection on a hill or around a corner or curve unless the is a "white" do not pass sign the "yellow" traffic signs are only recomendations
If the broken yellow is on YOUR side, you may pass when safe to do so. You must have your car back in your lane before the lines become double solid yellow. If the broken line is on the other side, that lane may pass if safe to do so. If a stretch of road has only a broken yellow line, either lane may pass IF safe but you must now be extra cautious as to what drivers intend to do.
