Best Answer

One mile is 5,280 feet. Measure one white line and one space between the lines and add them together. Divide that sum into 5,280 and then divide by 2 and subtract 1. (assuming the length of the lines and spaces are the same.) ex: line = 5ft, space = 5ft. divide 5,280 by 10 = 528 - 1 = 527 white lines. CORRECT ANSWER: Since per the department of transportation regulations, the length of a white line is 20 feet long with a 10 foot space between the white lines, you get one white line every 30 feet, divide 5280 by 30 and you get 176 white lines per mile.

There are approximately 9,280 broken white lines in a mile. This is based on the standard length of a broken white line on a road, which is typically around 10 feet.

Per US federal guidelines, each dashed line measures 10 feet, and the empty spaces in-between measure 30 feet. Every time a car passes a new dashed line, the car has traveled 40 feet. In a mile the car will pass 132 dashed lines.
