A broken line on the highway signifies what?

1. No passing allowed

2. Passing allowed

3. Construction ahead

4. Stop sign ahead

The correct answer is: Passing allowed

A broken line on the highway indicates that passing is allowed. This line signifies that drivers can overtake other vehicles when it is safe to do so. The broken line represents a separation between the lanes of traffic traveling in the same direction where such maneuvers are permissible under the right conditions. The other options represent different traffic sign meanings: a solid line would typically indicate that passing is not allowed, while construction signs and stop signs are communicated through different symbols or solid lines to alert drivers of those specific conditions. Understanding the meaning of road markings, such as the broken line, is important for safe driving practices.
