I've never had to worry about lines -- our max wait has been 4-5 people, about 2-3 minutes. One of the ways to prevent them is to make the maximum size of a precint's roster count smaller. In our county, it's 1000 people, which translates to 300 or so active voters, of which almost half are absentee since they began offering the permanent absentee option. Of course, to have smaller precinct sizes, you have to have enough pollworkers and equipment, which can be its own problem.
