DESIGN CRITERIA AND TRAFFIC PERFORMANCE RESEARCH IN NEW SWEDISH GUIDELINES ON RURAL HIGHWAYS

The National Swedish Road Administration (NSRA) has recently published new guidelines on geometric design of rural highways. These are based on extensive research on traffic performance, traffic safety, vehicle operating costs and emissions mainly carried out by the Swedish Road and Transport Research Institute (VTI). This paper summarizes design criteria and recommendations in the new NSRA guidelines and the main findings in the VTI research on traffic performance.
