What is a no passing zone?

A no passing zone is a section of a road where it is prohibited for drivers to overtake other vehicles. This is typically marked by solid yellow lines on the road. No passing zones are put in place for safety reasons, to prevent accidents and ensure a smooth flow of traffic.

Drivers should not attempt to pass other vehicles in a no passing zone, as it can be dangerous and increase the risk of a collision. It is important to be patient and wait for a safe and legal opportunity to pass when the no passing zone ends.

No passing zones are usually found in areas where visibility is limited, such as curves, hills, or intersections. They are also often placed near schools, construction zones, or other high-risk areas. It is important for drivers to obey the rules of the road and respect no passing zones to help prevent accidents and keep everyone on the road safe.
