"Single white lines introduced as road dividers 1927"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_surface_mark ing
Wikipedia says 1921 in Sutton Coldfield.

"First white lines were used ....Toll Bar Garage near Hornby."
http://www.chronology.ndo.co.uk/1925-1949.htm
"1925 Order given for the painting of white lines on roads in an attempt to reduce traffic accidents."
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/politics _show/6544321.stm
"In 1924 the traffic in one London Street was deemed to be so bad that something needed to be done.
The solution? A white line painted down the middle of the road as an experiment in solving the traffic congestion problem."
I'd go for 1924 since that's the closest.
