Question 5342

If the spacing between the dashes of a broken longitudinal line is noticeably shorter than in the general case, it indicates...

  1. the approach of a road section through a built-up area (travesía).
  2. the approach of a section with a grade greater than five percent.
  3. the approach of a section of road that presents a special hazard.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: the approach of a section of road that presents a special hazard.

When the gaps between the dashes become much shorter, the line warns of an upcoming solid line or a section with a special hazard, such as a curve with limited visibility.
