Title: LOW-VOLUME ROADS: PROBLEMS, NEEDS, AND IMPACT STATUS IN CANADA
Accession Number: 00680823
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: In 1983, the Transportation Association of Canada (TAC), a non-profit, non-partisan association of corporate members including federal, provincial, territorial and municipal governments; a wide range of carriers and suppliers of transportation goods and services; and the academic community, approved the establishment of a project steering committee to research and develop a set of geometric design standards for low-volume roads (LVR) that would be the product of a consensus of the majority of users in Canada. LVR in Canada include rural road systems, roads to or within isolated communities, recreational roads, and resource development roads. A substantial effort went into developing these national standards for LVR. In 1991, a questionnaire was distributed to many government agencies, municipalities, and consultants to determine the extent of their usage and any shortfalls in the standards. (Results of this survey are not reported in this paper.)
