Symbolizing Linear Features as Points

I have a linear dataset that has features that may be as small as 10 meters (under road drainage etc) and as big as several miles. When viewing these on a statewide map the shorter features are not visible. I would like to symbolize these features as points so that they are visible from all scales. I tried using the ArrowRightMiddle symbol and changing the marker to a point. This works great until the width of the point exceeds the length of the line. At that point the marker is suppressed. Is there a way to disable this behavior? Is there another way I can do this to overcome this limitation?

My attachments show the behavior as I zoom in you see more points displayed. I'd like them to display at all times. Thanks!

Try setting your reference scale Working with data frame reference scales—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop  this will allow your symbols to draw consistently the same at all scale levels.
