Correct answer
- CSí, siempre que sea necesario y la seguridad lo permita.Yes, as long as it is necessary and safety allows.

As a general rule you do not drive on broken longitudinal lines; you only cross them for manoeuvres such as changing lanes. The exception is when the width of the lanes makes it necessary, as long as road safety allows.
