Practical Highway Design Solutions
Some state departments of transportation (DOTs) have adopted design solutions—often labeled "practical design"—for specific roadway projects at reduced costs, thereby allowing the agencies to better address critical needs of the entire roadway system. This synthesis presents information on the application of practical design approaches in roadway project development. Information used in this study was acquired through a review of the literature, a survey of state DOTs, and follow-up interviews with six state DOTs that have adopted formal practical design policies.
