RESEARCHERS CURB SAFETY PROBLEMS OF SUBURBAN HIGH-SPEED ROADWAYS

Suburban highways require special design considerations because of their high speed limits and the high number of driveways, side road intersections, and left-turning maneuvers. This article describes research in which investigators consider design elements--such as speed, alignment, cross section, clear zone drainage, driveways, and sight distance--to create guidelines for suburban high-speed curb and gutter section roadways. The research also considers safety and operational characteristics.
