I've had good luck using a white gel-ink ball point pen. In N-scale, any tape that you would use would be too thick for the scale, so paint or ink is the only real possibility. I don't think there are any national standards for road markings, but about 4 inches wide sounds about right and I would guess that 15-20ft is about the correct length for dashed lines (which seem in general to be longer than a car length). I would guess that the spacing between dashes is about 150% of the dash length. I think you'll find that anything close to these will look realistic at n scale. (Unless the "reality" police visit your layout, in which case we're all in trouble.)
