Correct answer

  • AIndica que hay un carril especial.It indicates a special lane.
Explanation

A wide broken longitudinal line indicates a special lane for certain types of vehicle, such as buses or taxis. Under the General Traffic Regulations, these markings mark out lanes to make driving and manoeuvring easier for the vehicles allowed to use them. Because other vehicles may cross this line in suitable circumstances, traffic flows more efficiently and in a more orderly way, without getting in the way of the vehicles using the special lane.
