I think that you can

- generate parallel segments using <side offset> (create left and
  right lanes of a highway which you have as single line only)

   ----------------------------- back
   . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . <- your original highway line
   ----------------------------- forth


- generate points along the line with <side offset>, such as

   +  +  +  +
   ---------* +
   +  +  +  +\  +  +  +  +  +  
              *---------------
             +  +  +  +  +  +

  (trees along an alley?)

Our power users may invent some nice example for Spearfish :)
