How to split a polygon that intersects a line

[SanchezNuñez]

Good afternoon,

I am looking for a way to split a polygon (a circle buffer) that intersects a line (a major road) and remove the part is outside, or on the other side of the road. 

Any sample in ArcPy and Python?

Thanks

Use the split tool from the editor Modify tool bar - you can use a line you construct, snapped to your road, or select the road centerline and use that to split your polygon.

Thank you @clt_cabq 

I am looking for a geoprocessing tool, I do have more that 44,00 circles to process.

@SanchezNuñez can you also try the 'Preserve' method for Clip tool?

Godo morning,

This is how I did it:

• Create 500 feet buffer
• dissolve line layer by street class
• for each 500 feet budder
  • create a 50 feet buffer
  • clip line layer
  • feature to poly to split 500 feet buffer at the line intersection
  • remove poly that is not intersecting the point
