broken lines
Segmented path markers
Broken lines are lines interrupted by gaps or spaces at regular intervals.
On roads, broken lines mark lanes where passing or lane changes are permitted, contrasting with solid lines that prohibit crossing.
In drawing and design, broken lines indicate something tentative, hidden, or meant to be cut: The pattern showed broken lines where you should fold.
The term also describes any discontinuous marking or boundary.
