Correct answer
- BSí, en calzadas con carriles estrechos.Yes, on carriageways with narrow lanes.
Explanation
According to the catalogue of road markings (RD 465/2025), no driver should drive on a broken longitudinal marking, except when, because of the width of the lanes, it is necessary and traffic safety allows it. In other words, only where lanes are narrow.
