Symbolization of lines on the OpenLayers map

How to make a complex symbolization of the line?

I do not know what this style is called, but you need something like this:

  1. broken line?

  2. dotted line (helped here):

    [
    new ol.style.Style({
        stroke: new ol.style.Stroke({
            width: 5,
            color: 'black'
        })
    }),
    new ol.style.Style({
        stroke: new ol.style.Stroke({
            width: 3,
            color: 'white',
            lineCap: 'butt',
            lineDash: [9, 9]
        })
    })
]

I can't find information anywhere on how to set such a style, although they are often found on schematic maps.

Number 2 can be done using a style function which sets a zigzag line geometry in the style. This code is based on OpenLayers 3: Offset stroke style but instead of showing the parallel lines it works along the original line alternately plotting the closest points on each of the parallel lines.
