Guide to road design part 3: geometric design
This Guide provides road designers and other practitioners with information about the geometric design of road alignments. Design parameters include: road classification; design speeds; design vehicles; alignment controls; cross-section components, including travel lanes, shoulders and verges; and provisions for public transport and cyclists. Speed parameters include: operating speed, desired speed and design speed; and their relationship with each other. Horizontal and vertical alignments include development and application of: circular curves; superelevation; grades; vertical curves; procedures for the grading of a road alignment; and determination of sight distances across vertical curves.
