Double solid yellow lin paired with a broken white line.

A double solid yellow line paired with a broken white line indicates a, sometimes hybrid, traffic rule where overtaking or lane changing is strictly prohibited from the side with the solid yellow lines. If a broken white line or dotted yellow line is present, it usually indicates that passing or overtaking is permitted, but only when it is safe to do so from that side. 

Double Solid Yellow Lines: Indicate a strict no-passing or no-overtaking zone for both directions, often found on dangerous roads or blind curves.

Solid/Broken Combo: Often seen as a solid yellow line adjacent to a broken yellow or white line, meaning passing is allowed on the side with the broken line.

Double Solid Yellow with Broken White: In some contexts, this indicates that while the yellow lines restrict overtaking from both sides, the broken white line may indicate a specific, perhaps temporary or lane-specific, allowance for merging or that it is a, in the Philippines, frequently ignored or misinterpreted marking. 

Key Takeaways:

Solid Yellow: Do not cross.

Broken White: Overtaking allowed if safe.

Hybrid: If the solid line is on your side, you cannot pass. If the broken line is on your side, you may pass when safe.
