The first centerline strip from each end is measured from the top of what runway feature?

The starting point for placing the centerline marks is the threshold. Runway centerline markings are laid out from the threshold at fixed intervals, so pilots have a consistent reference as they approach and land. The runway designation numbers indicate direction and are located at the threshold end, but they are not the reference point for where the first centerline stripe begins. Pavement edges and touchdown zone markers serve other purposes and locations. So the first centerline stripe from each end is measured from the threshold.
