No struggle here, where as you struggle with accuracy.for someone who likes to read fine legal detail, amazes me you fell into this simple terminology 'trap' , but obviously due to your self imposed superiority complex.
When freshly put down, they might well be lines, if they remain in force they will possibly be maintained as lines - btw, when is a line a dash - anyone?).
For your further education and road safety information, after a few years temporary lines at road work, not being refreshed become little more than dots with a few dashes - But they are the DOT's as i refer to, especially after several years of being worn away by tyres, but idiots still slam the anchors on - hence my description DOT's - it is these i clearly refer to in plain English.
