Detailed Solution
For a 250 m stretch, the broken lines consist of segments of 2.5 m followed by 2.5 m gaps. Each cycle is 5 m long. In 250 m, there are cycles. Each cycle has 2.5 m of paint. There are 2 such lines between 3 lanes, so m. Additionally, there are 2 continuous boundary lines of 250 m each, so m. Total length m.
