INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON HIGHWAY GEOMETRIC DESIGN PRACTICES, BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, AUGUST 30 - SEPTEMBER 1, 1995. CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS

The symposium provided a forum for highway geometric design practitioners, policy makers, and researchers from around the world to analyze and compare policies and procedures among countries on highway geometric design practices. The goal was to better understand worldwide practice and thereby stimulate the continued improvement of highway geometric design. The symposium featured opening and closing plenary sessions and six technical sessions. The opening plenary session highlighted recent changes in design policies in a sample of countries. The technical sessions included worldwide reviews and research papers on six topic areas: design speed, cross section, alignment, intersections and interchanges, sight distance, and safety and human factors. The proceedings are organized according to these sessions and contain 44 papers from authors representing 16 countries.
