It gives advance warning of a solid line or another circumstance requiring attention. The current catalogue includes markings M-1.9 and M-1.10. Observe upcoming signs and markings and adapt driving. A broken advance-warning line does not itself become solid or automatically prohibit overtaking from its beginning. Nor does every solid line forbid every overtake: its position and applicable rules and exceptions matter.
