Correct answer

  • CSí, cuando sea necesario y siempre que no ponga en peligro la circulación.Yes, when necessary and as long as it does not endanger traffic.
Explanation

Under the road-marking catalogue (RD 465/2025), no one should drive on a broken longitudinal marking, except when this is necessary because of the width of the lanes and traffic safety allows it. It is not a general permission: only when needed and without risk.
