ABSTRACT
Explore the Art and Science of Geometric DesignThe Geometric Design of Roads Handbook covers the design of the visible elements of the road-its horizontal and vertical alignments, the cross-section, intersections, and interchanges. Good practice allows the smooth and safe flow of traffic as well as easy maintenance. Geometric design is covered in d
