I’m making a racing game, and the road lines in the middle are on top of the characters, how can I fix this?

Give us link to your game so we can see what your working with.  
Otherwise, try using the z (depth) property.

if the “z (depth)” for your sprite is higher that the sprite you are overlapping with, are you above, or below them? I could REALLY use this for this BIG game I’m making.

lol just test it! I believe the higher the number the farther above it is, so liver numbers are drawn first and higher numbers are drawn after, but I would test that to make sure if I were you!
