Highway Cross Section Elements & Sight Distance Consideration Er. Hemant Gulati Highway Geometric Design It deals with the dimensions and layout of visible features of the highway such as alignment, sight distance and intersection. Objectives: Optimum efficiency Maximum safety Minimum (Reasonable) cost Following elements are considered in geometric design of highway:i. Cross section elements ii. Sight distance considerations iii. Horizontal alignment details iv. Vertical alignment details v. Intersection elements Important factors controlling the geometric design of highway i. Design speed ii. Topography • Plain (slope up to 10%) • Rolling (slope 10-25%) • Mountainous (slope 25-60%) • Steep (slope more than 60%) iii. Traffic factors • Vehicular characteristics • Human or Road user characteristics iv. Design hourly volume and capacity v. Environmental and other factor • Rainfall • Temperature • Air pollution • Noise pollution January 1, 2019 1
