enter image description hereI have Road feature class [Polyline]

How can we calculate road width between two parallel lines in ArcMap or ArcGIS Pro?

I don’t want to measure roads width by manually?

I have road feature class which in line, just i want to maesure width between two parallel line, And i dont want to do manually.

Is that possible we can measure width of road segments with any tool in Arcgis or Arcgis Pro

    Can you add a screenshot showing the data?

  • You could try extracting vertices of one line, then calculate the distance of said vertices to the nearest point on the other line.

  • Technically, a line doesn't have width, only length. You can calculate a distance between lines, and line symbolization has a width property (which often exceeds a the actual width of the feature so symbolized), but without further context, your meaning is unclear. Please Edit the Question.

I split kerb lines into 20m segments and run Generate Near table between itself, limiting number of neighbors to three:

After that I joined selected records (>0) to segments. Result makes sense:

    So the lines on my picture are not parallel enough?

  • Yes, your shared picture is enough to understand. Actually i have road feature class and spot height feature class. while i am running near tool i did not get any relevant values. Commented Mar 7, 2023 at 7:53

    Wrong tool. Run correct one, see post, between sample points and kerbs, limit to 2 nearest. Summarise results by in_fid. Same principle
