Just FYI, I have tries upgis_lineshift and in general it does a great job - at
a minimum for visualizing the different paths. However I have found that
sometimes the shifted line doesn't go in the direction you'd expect so you'll
get situations where the shifting switches sides and this can be problematic if
you are expecting them to represent the actual side of the road of that lane.
In the diagram below the …… line is the original geometry for a singly
digitized road, and the - - - is the shifted line.

I have not had time to look into this, but hope to at some point.
