Greetings,
  It sounds like your intent is to offset the lines to create new line features to each side to your current line feature.  It sounds like you want a method to perform this task en masse, not offsetting each feature individually with the offset tool.  If this is the case then I do not know the magical answer to your question.  I would suggest reposting your question in the Editing Forum as your question is not so much related to transportation as it is related to line editing functions.  Also the Editing forum tends to get a lot more traffic.
 
However, if your goal is to offset your lines for map symbology purposes, then your problem is symbology/cartography related and I would suggest learning about Symbolization: http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#//00s60000000p000000.htm  or (if you have an Editor/Info license) Representation: http://webhelp.esri.com/arcgisdesktop/9.3/tutorials/reps/Reps_8.htm

Hope this helps!
