continuity lines
broken lines that are wider and closer together than regular broken lines are called continuity lines. continuity lines on the left side of a lane denote that the lane is about to end and that motorists must soon merge left. continuity lines on the right mean that the lane will continue, but traffic may merge into it ahead.









































in some areas, reflective markers (cat's eyes) recessed into the pavement are used, especially approaching curves in the road.

today, there are more than 25 million botts' dots in use in california, though they have started falling out of favor. in 2017, caltrans announced that it would stop using botts' dots as the sole indicator of lane division, due to cost, worker safety, and in order to make roadways more compatible with self-driving cars. reflective lane markings will be wider and thicker, providing some of the tactile feedback the botts' dots provided. in california, highway lanes may be marked either solely by botts' dots, or dots placed over painted lines. four dots are used for broken lines on freeways, and broken lines on surface streets may use only three dots. reflective stimsonite pavement markers are placed at regular intervals between botts' dots to increase the visibility of lane markings at night. in the las vegas area of southern nevada, roads with multiple lanes use four pavement markers for each broken white line, a reflective stimsonite marker followed by three botts' dots.
