What does a standard holding position marking look like?

Holding position markings tell you exactly where to stop and where you may cross when you have clearance. On taxiways at runway intersections, you’ll see four parallel stripes across the width: two continuous (solid) lines and two dashed lines. The solid lines mark the boundary you must not cross without explicit clearance, while the dashed lines indicate the portion you may cross when cleared. That combination—four parallel stripes with two solid and two dashed—best matches the standard marking, so it’s the correct description.
