Use a "butt" style of line cap. This creates a flat end that stops exactly at the end of the line (as compared to "square" which extends the symbol past the geographic end of the line).

Add a marker symbol layer. Make the marker symbol a single black circle, the same width as the line, placed at the endpoint of the line.

Note: apparently this method works in ArcGIS Pro but not in ArcMap.

  • I can only add another line marker symbol layer not a point marker symbol layer.

  • Nice, I was able to do it in ArcGIS Pro but not in ArcMap. Thats why i asked for ArcMap or ArcGIS Pro in the same question. ;)
