GEOMETRIC CONSIDERATIONS OF GRADING, CROSS-SECTIONS, AND INTERSECTION TREATMENT ARE REVIEWED. A SYSTEM FOR CALCULATION OF LEVELS AND QUANTITIES FOR A SUBDIVISION IS OUTLINED. METHODS FOR SPECIFYING DESIGN COMPONENTS ARE DESCRIBED AND A SOLUTION TO ALLOW EASE OF SPECIFICATION AND FULL CONTROL OVER THE DESIGN IS PRESENTED.
