Monograph

This issue contains 16 papers concerned with highway design. The papers are grouped into four parts. The first part includes 9 papers on geometric design. Specific topics addressed in this part include: crossover roundabouts; short left-turn lanes at unsignalized median openings; horizontal clearance offsets to objects higher than sight lines; double left-turn lane operations; stopping sight distance and horizontal sight line offsets at horizontal curves; horizontal curve design; geometric and operational improvements at continuous flow intersections to enhance pedestrian safety; a reliability-based approach for selecting basic number of freeway lanes; and superelevation design for sharp horizontal curves at steep grades. The second part concerns landscape and environmental design. The two papers in this part discuss nontraditional development in roadside right-of-way and the application of a conflict scoping process to transportation projects. The third part concerns utilities and contains one paper on the management of right-of-way parcel and utility information. Part 4 covers hydrology, hydraulics, and water quality. The four papers in this part discuss the removal of dissolved heavy metals in highway runoff; a stochastic empirical loading and dilution model for analysis of flows, concentrations, and loads of highway runoff constituents; wave-induced scour at cylindrical piles; and a model of flow regimes in porous pavement and porous friction courses.
