Roadway Horizontal Alignments II Author: Gregory Taylor Roadway horizontal alignments contain a series of horizontal tangents (straight roadway sections), circular curves, and spiral transitions. These show the proposed roadway in relation to the existing terrain and adjacent land conditions. Along with the vertical alignment (grades and vertical curves) and roadway cross-sections (lanes, shoulders, curbs, medians,…
Roadway Horizontal Alignments I Author: Gregory Taylor The roadway horizontal alignment is a series of tangents (straight roadway sections), circular curves, and spiral transitions. It shows the proposed roadway location in relation to the existing terrain and adjacent land conditions. Together with the vertical alignment (grades and vertical curves) and roadway cross-sections (lanes, shoulders, curbs,…
Roadway Cross-Sections II Author: Gregory Taylor This course is the first of two in this series that focuses on the geometric design of cross-sections for modern roads and highways. Its contents are intended to serve as guidance and not as an absolute standard or rule. The course objective is to give engineers and designers an…
