Dissolving line segments that do not intersect other line segments

Hi,

As the title says, I'm trying to merge certain line segments that represent roads through geoprocessing (there is too much to do manual). I want to merge segments of a road that do not intersect other segments (see attached pic for clarity). Unfortunately I cannot just do a dissolve on the road name because it combines more segments than I want (and the road attribute fields do not have anything else set up to aid in this).

Is this possible?

Thanks

Have you tried changing the un-split line parameter of the Dissolve tool?

This got me what I wanted, I was not aware of that function. Thankyou

Glad that has helped you out. It's always worth spending a little time reading the help file on tool parameters as a simple tick of a box can often have a profound influence on the output and it might just be what you need.
