Ben,
See Regina Obe's upgis_lineshift
http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/wiki/UsersWikiplpgsqlfunctions
I have a PostGIS version, without the curves, of this one:

If you want the code, email me privately as I have not yet blogged on it.

ST_Translate() is the simplest, but if your lines are horizontal you may want a
Y shift as well?

Lines are roads, so they go every which way.
Having done this, I suggest you also use ST_reverse() to reflect the direction
is now going the other way (unless it already is :-)

For more complex shifting of features, probably overkill in your case, see
http://postgis.refractions.net/documentation/manual-svn/ST_Affine.html
This might be what I am after, but I was thinking of somehow translating each
segment parallel to it's current alignment and then rejoining with a nice
smooth curve... kind of like a 1-sided buffer.
cheers
Ben

Subject: [postgis-users] Shifting linestrings left
To: "PostGIS Users Discussion" <postgis-users@postgis.refractions.net>

G'day all,
I have a problem where I am trying to show the route of livestock movements,
but I am loosing information when the travel along the same road in different
directions (ie in some cases they travel from a saleyard to a feedlot, then
back to the saleyard after a period). The roads they travel along are single
linestrings.
Is there a way to 'shift' the linestring to the left - after all, that would be
sensible side of the road to drive on...
cheers
Ben
