On this page, they explain how to create a directional arrow line symbol in ArcMap. However, I'm using ArcGIS Pro and its documentation doesn't seem to mention this kind of symbology at all.

In this answer I will assume you will start from simple line without markers.

  • Right-click the layer and go to Symbology, then click on the line symbol

  • Go to Properties -> Structure -> Layers -> Add symbol layer of type Marker -> Add effect -> Select Dash effect

enter image description here

  • Go to Layers -> Font -> ESRI Arrowhead -> select your favorite arrow head and click OK

enter image description here

  • Select the arrowhead color that matches the line color. Under Dash effect, select the forth type from top (dot-shaped dash).

  • Under the Dash template, write 1 30 (you can adjust it as you like). Under At line ends, select Half gap, if you want to rotate the arrow, you need to adjust the rotation to 180 degree, and click apply. Here is the result:
