Does it mean that vehicles from the opposite direction are not permitted to change lane but for your direction you are permitted to use any lane providing it's free of traffic?

Has to be along those "lines" Wink ..... but if you have the solid white line on your side, you shouldn't be in the middle lane, so what purpose the solid yellow.

Have only seen this configuration in a North East Quebec. About 2 Km (1.2 Miles) later the pattern reverses Left to Right.

Hi
I wonder if it is anything to do with this.
Quote:

The left lane is for passing only: Yes, other provinces have road signs that say to keep right except to pass, but police say most laws don’t have teeth when it comes to convicting left-lane drivers going the speed limit or faster. Usually the laws say slower traffic must keep right — but they also say that it’s illegal to go above the speed limit.

Last week, B.C.’s tougher rules went into effect. There are now $167 fines for left-lane drivers who don’t get out of the way for faster drivers behind them. You can be fined even if you're driving at or above the speed limit. The law doesn’t require drivers you to get out of the left-most lane if there’s nobody behind you.

But in Quebec, the left-most lane on highways with a speed limit 80 km/h or higher is a true passing lane. Section 321 of the Highway Safety Code says you can’t drive in the left lane unless you are passing or turning left.

You can’t drive in the left lane even if you’re the only car on the highway. If you do, it’s a minimum $60 fine, including plus fees.

And, you can’t pass on the right on highways in Quebec either.
