Exactly, I assumed it was clear since it has been clear for the last 20 years. At that spot, no one passes over those double yellows, since all traffic is already slowing for a major red light intersection that is to the left of the diagram. Reflex.
When I turned, I could not believe there was a car in my lane, going the "wrong way", heading right at me. Close call, and a good reminder to not make any assumptions of other drivers
