    1. As Ton suggested, I would start with a Blend between two dashed lines (the second line is a duplicate of the first).
    2. With the Blend selected, go to Object > Flatten Transparency and make sure "Convert All Strokes to Outlines" is checked and click OK. This will make the Dashed Strokes into Filled Rectangles (and will will solve the "slanted dash" problem).
    3. Then take a look a how to use Perspective Grid. Here's a video: http://www.jeffwitchel.net/2014/05/now-perspective-grid-is-amazing/

    See screenshot below for results.

    Hope this helps!

    Another option would be to use a gradient. The technique is described at Photoshop/Illustrator: Angled Dashed Line (example included) - Graphic Design Stack Exchange

    I would make them with Blends and use one blend as a mask.

    Use Black lines for the mask (I used red which give a semi transparent result).

    Maybe, but the edge of the dashes needs to be vertical to match ghadah's example, so it's  not so straightforward either.

    With a dashed line:
