In Portuguese road regulations, what is the meaning of a mixed longitudinal line consisting of a continuous line alongside a broken line (linha mista M3)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: B. Drivers must obey the line closest to their vehicle's side of the lane

  1. Step 1: Mixed line rules. Step 2. For a mixed line (linha mista), drivers must only respect the line that is nearest to their lane. If the broken line is on the driver's side, they may cross it to overtake; if the continuous line is on their side, crossing is forbidden. Answer: Drivers must obey the line closest to their vehicle's side of the lane. Why not the others: Asymmetric lines grant overtaking permission strictly to the side with the broken line.
