POLICY FOR GEOMETRIC DESIGN OF RURAL ROADS

THE PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN STATED IN THE POLICY ARE BASED ON MATHEMATICAL CALCULATIONS, EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS, AND ENGINEERING EXPERIENCE. THEY HAVE BEEN GATHERED TO PROMOTE UNIFORMITY OF DESIGN PRACTICE. SEPARATE SECTIONS COVER: FACTORS INFLUENCING GEOMETRIC DESIGN, THE INFLUENCE OF SPEED ON ROAD DESIGN, WIDTH OF PAVEMENT AND FORMATION, CROSS SECTION, SIGHT DISTANCE, HORIZONTAL ALIGNMENT, VERTICAL CURVES, GRADES, DESIGN FORM, AND DIVIDED RURAL ROADS. A BIBLIOGRAPHY AND AN APPENDIX ON CURB TYPES AND USES ARE INCLUDED.
