Sec. 14-298-605. Widths and patterns of longitudinal lines

The widths and patterns of longitudinal lines shall be as follows:

(1) A normal width line is 4″ to 6″ wide.

(2) A wide line is usually twice the width of a normal line.

(3) A double line consists of two normal width lines separated by a discernible space.

(4) A broken line is formed by segments and gaps, usually in the ratio of 1:3. On rural highways, a commonly used standard is 10 foot segments and 30 foot gaps. Other dimensions in this ratio may be used as best suit traffic speeds and need for delineation.

(5) A dotted line is formed by short segments, normally two feet in length, and gaps, normally four feet or longer.
