Dotted White Extension Line

Short white dots extend a lane line through a merge, exit, or intersection area.

Closely spaced short white dots extend a lane line through an interchange, intersection, or auxiliary-lane area to guide drivers across a gap in the normal striping. The dotted pattern signals that the lane continues but is shared, dropping, or merging; drivers should track the dots to stay aligned with their intended lane and watch for entering or exiting traffic.
