Length: 48 pages
This course focuses on the geometric design process for modern roads and highways. Subjects covered include: cross-section elements (lane widths, shoulders, roadside design, medians, drainage channels); local roads; collector roads; rural and urban arterials; and freeways. The course 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 in-depth look at the principles to be considered when selecting and designing roadways. Upon course completion, you should be familiar with the general guidelines for roadway geometric design.
A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets (also known as the “Green Book”) published by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) is considered to be the primary guidance for U.S. roadway design. For this course, Chapters 4 through 8 - Cross-Section Elements, Local Roads and Streets, Collector Roads and Streets, Rural and Urban Arterials, and Freeways will be used exclusively for fundamental roadway geometric design principles.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Identify typical roadway cross-section elements.
- Describe components of the traveled way.
- Identify lane widths.
- Describe characteristics of roadway shoulders.
- Explain principles of roadside design.
- Describe curb categories and usage.
- Identify typical applications for drainage channels.
- Describe various types of traffic barriers.
- Design and apply pedestrian facilities.
- Describe bicycle facilities.
- Explain local roads.
- Identify collector roads.
- Describe arterials.
- Explain rural and urban freeways.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 30 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
