solid lines

No gaps allowed

Solid lines are unbroken lines, as opposed to dashed or dotted ones.

On roads, solid lines indicate where lane changes or passing are prohibited: Don't cross the solid line.

In documents and forms, solid lines often mark where signatures or information should go.

The term contrasts with broken lines, which typically signal permission or flexibility.
