solid line

No gaps here

A solid line is an unbroken line, as opposed to a dotted or dashed one.

On roads, a solid line typically indicates no passing allowed: Don't cross the solid line.

In documents and design, solid lines often separate sections or create borders.

The term distinguishes continuous marks from interrupted ones.
