Useful Civil 3D Training from public website sources
Autodesk staff, Autodesk Reseller staff, and consultants produce a wide range of video content. Some is product sales demo, but a lot of the staff and/or consultant recordings, lists, and channels include useful application training and helpful tips and tricks for Infrastructure Design products.
Content that is significant video training is listed here.

Shawn might be a little too quick on the whys but the how to is all here in the short and the sweet.
This is a good example of tweaked Civil 3D Style use as a specialized tool for a classic task and QAQC problem.
In the real world that means you want to copy and rename the Surface Style you edit to perform the task.

Feature Line Based Corridor Curb Returns

Shawn covers more than the basic mechanics here pretty quickly. Important tips like Feature Line reversal and the Corridor Match Properties command are shown.
If you live and breathe editing Feature Lines you'll like this approach to curb returns.
You can also replace the automatically built Curb Return Regions generated by the Intersection Wizard with Feature Line targets built like this.
Shawn does not do some Region Station matching cleanup in the video. You might want to watch those details in your production work. Overlapping Regions in the Corridor model can produce resolution problems that are hard to find later.
I honestly don't mind the extra detailed work of Curb Return Profile design in intersections, but sometimes the Feature Line solution makes more sense to some.
