The lines were supposedly intended to call drivers' attention to the upcoming trail crossing. Most people didn't know what they meant. I don't know if they're still in place, but I don't think those markings are being added elsewhere in Virginia anymore.

I know when WSDOT installed the zig-zag markings, at least based on the article, there was the intent to install more of them in the future if they proved successful. I think the Northwest Region (district) of WSDOT has their own standards, so they may be used more often up in that part of the state, but so far I cannot think of any installations of that marking style in any other region of Washington.

That said, based on the state of the markings, they do seem to be maintained, so maybe there has been some success.

There are some British-style zig-zag markings in Hilo, Hawaii. They've been there for at least 15 years, and are maintained.

Not sure how commonly they are used elsewhere in Hawaii:
