Okay, I just looking for a quick poll. How many of you out there label the bearing both on a right-of-way center-line and side-lines when they are parallel and you have dimensioned the width?
Thanks in advance
I try to keep my graphics simplistic so redundant bearings usually don't happen often.
When a parcel or description is being shown (whose corresponding line is parallel with a centerline) I might be tempted to show it if it is a call in the description.
I make a narrative metes and bounds to describe easements and label the r/w on drawings.
Showing the center line is usually dependent upon the purpose of the easement. Access-easement not, to follow an existing water line yes.
I recently wrote and easement that on the west r/w was 10 parallel to center-line and the east r/w was along boundary line. The east r/w actually was into the other property needing the easement.
I would only label the centerline of an ROW.
If it was in fee, it might be better to label the sidelines as a legal description would be needed.
I tend to label both, to make sure that there's no misunderstanding on any point down the line. There ARE times when the sidelines and centerlines diverge, so I try to make things as clear as possible for people who may follow. Seen too many ambiguous plats, and don't want to force others to go through some of the nightmares I've had to deal with. At least, that's what I TRY to do. 🙂
To me the dimensioning line with either arrows or little slash marks at the ends indicate right angles, thus parallel lines, so I wouldn't ordinarily label both. However, for reasons mentioned earlier and if there's room I might label both.
You're right. Avoiding confusion is what it's all about.
So what if it takes you just a little longer to label the sidelines. If you do, there can be no doubt as to you're intentions.

Some of our oldest ROW maps only have the centerline course data labeled, and the width to the ROW line shown, but that would not be acceptable today. All ROW lines and (almost all) centerlines are dimensioned on our current maps, whether prepared in house or contracted out.
around here, show them....
24.183.1104 (1)(d)(ix) per our administrative rules....
24.183.1104 UNIFORM STANDARDS FOR CERTIFICATES OF SURVEY
(1) A certificate of survey may not be filed by a county clerk and recorder unless it complies with the following requirements:
(d) A certificate of survey must show or contain on its face or on separate sheets referred to on its face the following information. The surveyor may, at his or her discretion, provide additional information regarding the survey.
(ix) The bearings, distances and curve data of all boundary lines. If the parcel surveyed is bounded by an irregular shoreline or a body of water, the bearings and distances of a meander traverse generally paralleling the riparian boundary must be given.
Label everything. We are not architects.

Around here NO. I have drawn thousands of Certificate of Survey drawings and viewed thousands more and cannot remember ever seeing that done. If the centerline has a bearing and is labeled with a width, seems kind of obvious.
