double line

Two adjacent strokes

A double line consists of two parallel lines placed close together.

In road markings, double lines indicate no-passing zones—yellow double lines separate opposing traffic, white double lines separate same-direction lanes.

In music notation, a double line marks the end of a section or piece.

In document formatting, double lines create visual separation or emphasis: The contract had a double line above the signature block.
