Road Centerlines
Road Centerlines
(OP)
Is there a standard for how often road centerlines should be broken? Every intersection, every mile? Or what would be the preferred method?
Thanks for any help offered.

I would go outside with a tape measure and measure.
In the drawing is the lookout important..., or?

Of course, some centerlines are 'dashed' to indicate passing lanes, etc. As far as CAD dwgs, I would not know what the 'standard' is.

You can put in center lines for road by modifing the multiline setup. The command is MLINE and modification information is listed in ACAD manual. Let ACAD drafting standard be your guide when developing road centerlines.
Hope this helps - John

Like CarlB, I also interpretted the "centerline" to be referring to the horizontal alignment of the profile, not the painted line on the physical road. I interpretted "breaks" as CarlB did also. But I can see how the others read "centerline" and "breaks" as they did.
I believe you want to "break" only the side street "centerline" at the intersection, leave the main throughway as one line. That way, you get one true profile for a stronger, more verifiable design. This is just my preference, I don't think there is a standard, just what gives you the most comfort in your design.
