There are several city streets in Marshall, TX that have this.

Also, today, I noticed that this was done using buttons on Mayhill Rd in Denton. Mayhill Rd is being upgraded fro ma rural tow-lane asphalt road, to a four-lane divided concrete road. They currently have one side of the concrete road completed, and its temporary two-way traffic while the other side is built. It was very surprising to find this in Denton, but not so much in Marshall.
Charleston, South Carolina has plenty of those along with some funky-looking arrow markings.

A sure giveaway that a movie is shot in Canada (such as Bird On a Wire) is the single yellow center line.

I've noticed that tons of current commercials are filmed in Canada. the all-yellow signal heads as well as the signs are a dead giveaway. Wonder if its cheaper to film there

Depends on the requirements of the project, but Vancouver or Toronto are almost always chosen over other Canadian cities because of existing resources for film-makers: the crews, the cameras, the writers, the producers, the directors, the actors, make-up, special effects, etc. Places like Denver or Seattle don't have those resources, so things are rarely filmed in those cities due to the enormous cost of transporting all those resources from another location.
As far as commercials, I've seen quite a few Allstate Insurance and Xfinity commercials that were filmed in Vancouver and Burnaby. The one with the cars flying around Dennis Haysbert was filmed in Downtown Vancouver (signals are the giveaway for me, beyond basic things like the buildings and the road). The last link clearly shows the Burnaby skyline right off the bat.

I'm pretty sure British Columbia offers some sort of tax incentives to film there.

A couple. This website sums it up pretty well (good resource overall): https://www.creativebc.com/programs/tax-credits/index
Boy, I've seen a whole lot of these in my time.
Here's one (https://goo.gl/maps/puSZdYRs1Ts) in Branson, MO.
I also noticed recently, while looking at Google Maps for another thread, that Burnet County (TX) likes to stripe their county highways with a single stripe.
Some minor streets in MA have such as well.
Raymond Rd. in Salem (https://www.google.com/maps/@42.5016016,-70.8939685,3a,75y,148.59h,71.31t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sheAJysr_alAmkXjg1PFVOQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656), a common cut-across to get from MA 1A northbound to MA 114 eastbound to Marblehead.
Cedar St. in Sturbridge (https://www.google.com/maps/@42.115216,-72.0974438,3a,75y,160.47h,75.42t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sMRWgxuihB_vTZGynBUIt-Q!2e0!7i3328!8i1664)
Rice Corner Rd. in Brookfield (https://www.google.com/maps/@42.162095,-72.1004741,3a,75y,234.59h,70.87t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sVu3O1Kii7_ubpUCaluNDrQ!2e0!6s%2F%2Fgeo3.ggpht.com%2Fcbk%3Fpanoid%3DVu3O1Kii7_ubpUCaluNDrQ%26output%3Dthumbnail%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26thumb%3D2%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D304.5%26pitch%3D-3%26thumbfov%3D100!7i13312!8i6656)
Yep, Canada, and especially Ontario, is full of these. A single line is the default, while double lines are rare aside from major highways.

This matches what I found in OTM Book 11: Pavement Markings
QuoteDouble line markings are only required where
permissive passing opportunities must be indicated
by direction of travel, where the posted speed limit
is 70 km/h or more, or where additional emphasis
of a passing prohibition is required.
I didn't realize this was uncommon until now (cool! :))
