Considerations for Design of Cross-Section n n Volume and composition (percent trucks, buses, and recreational vehicles) of the vehicular traffic likelihood of bicyclists and pedestrians using the route Flexibility in Highway Design Chapter 6 6
Considerations for Design of Cross-Section n n Climatic conditions (storage space for plowed snow, amount of rain) Presence of natural or human-made obstructions adjacent to the roadway (rock cliffs, etc) Type and intensity of development along the facility Safety of the users (speed of traffic) 7
Travel Lanes Function: guidance to drivers and vehicle support Pavement types: n high (modern standards), n intermediate (surface treatments), and n low (unpaved) 8
Travel Lanes Selection Criteria: n Traffic volume and composition n Soil characteristics n Past performance in area n Availability of materials n Energy conservation n Initial cost n Maintenance cost n Overall life-cycle cost 9
Cross Slope l l l Slope perpendicular to flow of traffic on tangent section Rural – normal crown – uniform slope from center to edge of pavement (cross slope break typically at centerline) Urban – parabolic shape (gutter capacity) 10
Cross Slope • • • Rate of Cross Slope = f(drainage, steering, and rollover or cross slope break) Drivers cross the crown line during passing maneuvers • Difficult to negotiate steep slopes AASHTO Recommends • High 1. 5 to 2% (0. 015 ft/ft m/m) • Intermediate 1. 5 to 3% • Low 2 to 6% 11

Roadway Component – Travel Lane Width Considerations • • • What is the impact of weather on cross slope design? Safety: Allow steering adjustment and lateral clearance Pavement edge crumbling (deterioration) less with wide lane Cost/Benefit (depends on traffic) Bicycle Use 18
Lane Width n n n n Limited by physical dimension of vehicles 12 ft desirable 11 ft acceptable in urban areas with restrictions 10 ft okay for low speed/urban roadways 9 ft – okay low volume rural and residential roadways 14 ft – shared outside lane with bike TWLTL 10 – 16 ft (3. 0 – 4. 8 m) Auxiliary 10 ft. (3. 0 m) or more 19
• Shoulders Functions: • Lateral Support • Avoidance Space • Emergency Stop • Ped/Bike Use • Turning/Passing at Intersections • Mail Delivery, Buses, etc. Flexibility in Highway Design Chapter 6 20
Shoulders n n Should be flush with roadway surface Sloped to drain away from traveled way Should be stable enough to support vehicles in all kinds of weather w/out rutting Should be visibly different from traveled way 21
Shoulder geometry n n Paved/Unpaved (earth, turf, gravel) Graded and usable width depends on foreslope and rounding Consider function, safety, and capacity impacts Slope ¡ ¡ ¡ n 2 to 6% (paved) 4 to 6% (gravel) 8% (turf) Min. 2% + lane slope Max crossover 8%] Width 0. 6 – 3. 6 m (2 – 12 ft) 22
