This is a lane marker. In a two lane road it will also mark the road centre.

In the UK and the US it means that the line can be crossed for an overtaking manoeuvre or to turn off the road assuming that it is safe to do so.

For further information on road markings in the UK please see the related link to the Highway Code.
