Monograph

This issue contains thirteen papers concerned with highway design. Specific topics addressed in this issue include the following: sight distance; effects of heavy vehicles on super highway operations; functional classification system to aid contextual design; J-turn acceleration-deceleration lane and U-turn spacing configurations; skew superelevation runoff; restriction of vehicle turning movements; and a constrained width tall wall barrier. Additional topics addressed in this issue include: Midwest guardrail systems; transitions between guardrail and portable concrete barriers; sustainability rating systems; capacity equations for long curb inlets; total maximum daily loads; and pier scour equation evaluation.
