Question 6351

When you encounter a broken line where the spacing between the dashes is shorter than usual, why is that?

  1. Because passing is not allowed.
  2. Because the speed is limited.
  3. Because of the danger posed by the proximity of a solid line.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because of the danger posed by the proximity of a solid line.

If the gaps between the dashes are shorter than normal, the line warns you of an upcoming solid line or a section with a special hazard, such as the curve in the image. While the line is broken, you may cross it. It does not impose a speed limit on its own.
