Geometric design guidelines

Geometric design guidelines are standards used to create safe, efficient, and comfortable roads and highways. They consider aspects like how wide lanes should be, the curvature of turns, sight distances, and how to avoid sharp edges that can cause accidents. These guidelines ensure the roadway aligns well with vehicle capabilities and driver expectations, facilitating smooth traffic flow and minimizing hazards. Essentially, they provide a systematic approach to designing road features that enhance safety, comfort, and functionality for all users.
