Correct answer

  • ALa separación entre los trazos de la línea es más cortaThe gaps between the dashes are shorter
Explanation

A broken line that warns of a continuous line (M-1.9 and M-1.10) has much shorter gaps between the dashes than a normal broken line: on a conventional road, 3.5 m dashes and 1.5 m gaps, compared with 4 m and 8.5 m. It announces that soon you will not be allowed to cross.
