Title: IMPACTS OF THE 1984 AASHTO DESIGN POLICY ON URBAN FREEWAY DESIGN
Accession Number: 00472641
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: The new AASHTO design policy contains many significant revisions and additions that directly address urban freeway design. These additions reflect continuing research on highway safety and operations as well as experience and observation of existing freeways. The latest policy not only updates certain basic design standards but also explicitly recognizes important principles of urban freeway operations and their translation into design guidelines. The focus in this paper is on three important areas in which the new policy will affect urban freeway design: (a) general highway design controls and criteria, (b) interchange design criteria and standards, and (C) freeway systems design principles.
