Quoted from KingBW:For my future bar, I acquired three 12 foot long sections of bowling alley lanes for the bar top.
Pretty cool. As a bowler, I must say those lane sections are fairly new. The dark lines are breakpoint indicators and weren't "required" on lanes until about 10-15 yrs ago. Very nice!
The arrows are standard on all lanes. They are about 15' down lane and used for aiming your shots.
The breakpoint lines are a more recent addition (40 ft down lane) and are used by high tech bowlers to judge where the ball is turning on the lane. They can be used to adjust ones "entry angle" into the rack of pins. This stuff is very important to scoring well in the game.
You can see these lines in the attached pic.
