The book includes important topics such as corridor selection and traverses, horizontal and vertical alignment, design controls, basic roadway design, cross section elements, intersection and interchange design, and the integration of new vehicle technologies and trends. It also presents end of chapter exercises to further aid understanding and learning.
This edition has been fully updated with the current design policies and reference manuals essential for highway, transportation, and civil engineers who are required to work to these standards.
- Provides an updated resource on current design standards from the Highway Capacity Manual and the Green Book
- Covers fundamental traffic flow relationships and traffic impact analysis, collision analysis, road safety audits and advisory speeds
- Presents the latest applications and engineering considerations for highway planning, design and construction
