I must say, you do raise a fascinating question.
The only way one could know for certain that the length and distance between successive white lines are constant is to measure them all. I have never done that, and perhaps you have not, either. I assume you mean the dotted lines in the centre of the road, painted there to separate the lanes. To be sure, they look the same; but it would be extremely difficult to ascertain that they are in fact constant, wouldn't it?
It is certainly possible that the machine for painting those white lines is equipped with some fashion of random-number generator that assigns different lengths and distances whenever the painting machine commences to paint a new stripe, designed to keep the variations so small as to be un-detected by the naked eye.
Such an elaborate device would make the painting machine thus embellished terribly expensive; if such were discovered, it would very probably become the focus of numerous questions raised in the House of Commons. I should surmise that your average minister of transport would prefer the more basic model of line-painting machine for use in his ministerial department: namely, the one that lacks the requisite random-number generator to produce white stripes of random length and distance betwixt them. This would easily explain the relatively uniform lengths and distances that we seem to perceive in the white lines painted in the road. It would also explain the notable success with which ministers are known to keep their departmental budgets trim.
Parallel
No not in length but they must be equal distance apart from each other.
Lines are parallel if they lie in the same plane, and are the same distance apart over their entire length

Parallel
No just equal distance apart at all times
No not in length but they must be equal distance apart from each other.
Lines are parallel if they lie in the same plane, and are the same distance apart over their entire length. Parallel lines remain the same distance apart over their entire length. No matter how far you extend them, they will never meet.
I heard from a local respected history teacher in the DC area, that the white horizontal lines are set at designated spaces, in fact, the interstate was made to have these straight strips between white lines to land military aircraft.

Parallel lines are the same distance apart for all points along the line.
