Correct answer
- CSe debe respetar únicamente la línea más cercana al carril por el que se circula.You must only obey the line closest to the lane you are driving in.
When a road has a solid longitudinal line next to a broken one, under the General Traffic Regulations drivers must only take into account the line closest to the lane they are driving in. This means that the broken line allows some manoeuvres (such as changing lanes), while the solid line prohibits crossing. So only the line nearest to the driver guides what they may do.
