Final answer:

A solid yellow line indicates a no passing area on roads. This marking means that overtaking and passing other vehicles is not allowed due to potential hazards. The rabbit's ability to safely cross a freeway is not assured simply by the absence of cars in the furthest lane.

Step-by-step explanation:

The roadway marking that indicates a no passing area is a solid yellow line. On two-lane roads, this marking on your side of the center line means you are not allowed to pass. A solid yellow line prohibits passing because it often indicates the presence of potential hazards such as curves or hills where you cannot clearly see oncoming traffic. A broken white line separates lanes of traffic going in the same direction and allows for passing or lane changing if it's safe. A dashed yellow line also allows for passing on two-lane roads but only when the dashed line is on your side. Lastly, a solid white line indicates the edge of the roadway or separates lanes of traffic moving in the same direction that you are generally not allowed to cross.

To address the second part of the question, if a car is traveling in the furthest lane from the rabbit, this does not ensure that the rabbit can cross all 3 lanes of the freeway safely. The rabbit's safety depends on the presence and speed of vehicles in all lanes, not just the one furthest from it. It is not safe to assume that the absence of cars in one lane guarantees safety across the others.
