- W2078305741 abstract "After a brief historical introduction to the geometry of roads in the United Kingdom, this paper presents some of the basic principles of road geometry, whose primary aim is to provide a surface on which motor vehicles can run safely and comfortably at a speed selected to suit the particular conditions. Although road geometry affects the construction cost and environmental impact of a scheme, its fundamental design standards have developed from consideration of what performance can be expected from a motor vehicle, what standards of comfort the vehicle's occupants expect, and what must be done to ensure that they travel safely. Road geometry affects and is affected by the following interrelated basic elements of road design: (1) road width and capacity; (2) horizontal curves, including transitions; (3) vertical curves; (4) gradients; (5) sight distances and design speeds; each of these aspects is discussed in some detail. The application of geometric standards to dual carriageway design and single carriageway design is then considered. The design of road junctions follows from the basic criteria of visibility, design speed, and capacity. The selection of road geometry is inevitably something of a compromise with requirements to minimise cost and environmental impact. It is only during the last forty years that all aspects of road geometry have been examined and research-based standards have been developed. (TRRL)" @default.
