Roadway design standards

Roadway design standards are established guidelines that ensure roads are built safely, efficiently, and consistently. They specify aspects like lane width, curve radius, signage placement, and sight distances to accommodate different vehicle types and traffic volumes. These standards help prevent accidents, improve traffic flow, and ensure accessibility for everyone, including pedestrians and cyclists. By following these guidelines, engineers create roads that are safe, reliable, and suitable for their intended use, considering factors like vehicle speed, landscape, and environmental impact.
