This course establishes the geometric design criteria for roads, streets, walks, and open storage areas . This course sets forth the approaches and traffic flow criteria for guidance in determining types and configurations best suited for mobilization construction.
We will be covering Army Corps of Engineers document "Geometrics for Roads, Streets, Walks, and Open Storage Areas". In these chapters we will be discussing definition of pertinent terms, highway planning, traffic, road and street types, design controls, speed and capacity influence, cross-section elements, vertical and horizontal alignment and other topics relating to the geometrics for roads.
