Correct answer
- ATramo peligroso.A dangerous stretch.
A broken longitudinal line with dashes very close together indicates a dangerous stretch, as its main purpose is to warn drivers of a situation that calls for extra care. Under the General Traffic Regulations, broken longitudinal markings can have different purposes but, in this particular case, the closeness of the dashes signals that road conditions are about to change in a way that may affect safety. This matches the rule that these markings are also used as a warning for drivers to be more alert on higher-risk stretches.
