I am trying to label a road that I create with Select Features, with a symbol multiple times along the road. Is it possible to recreate my symbol multiple times along the road to label it?

Do you have Maplex? Go to data frame properties and look at where it says 'label engine', see if there's an option for maplex.– Michael StimsonDec 10, 2014 at 23:34

Without the Maplex label engine your only option using the Standard Label engine is to label each part of the feature:
Maplex gives more functionality for labeling, to repeat the label go to label density and select the checkbox for Repeat Label:
Hit the options button and specify how often you want the label to be repeated, either in map units or page units, in this case I want the label to appear every two inches on the final product:
This may be a bit excessive, change to a repetition interval that is comfortable for you:
