Traffic engineering aims to achieve efficient operation, safety, economic design and minimize environmental impact. Highway design considers factors like traffic volume, design speed, vehicle type, terrain, and level of service. Design hourly volume is used for calculations and is typically the 30th highest hourly volume. The design vehicle is the largest vehicle expected to frequently use the road and determines design standards. A highway cross section includes travel lanes, shoulders, medians, barriers, curbs, gutters, sidewalks and slopes. Right of way width must accommodate all highway elements and potential future expansion.
The clear distance ahead of vehicle which is visible to the driver is known as sight distance
The minimum distance within which a driver can safely stop his vehicle without any collision with some vehicle, animal or any other object is known as stopping sight distance.

Terzaghi's soil bearing capacity theory, developed by Karl Terzaghi, is a fundamental principle in geotechnical engineering used to determine the bearing capacity of shallow foundations. This theory provides a method to calculate the ultimate bearing capacity of soil, which is the maximum load per unit area that the soil can support without undergoing shear failure. The Calculation HTML Code included.

Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) for pavements is crucial to achieving sustainability. Implementing RCA for new pavement can minimize carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, reduce harmful emissions, and lower life cycle costs. Compared to natural aggregate (NA), RCA pavement has fewer comprehensive studies and sustainability assessments.

(3 to 3.95 m).
• Typically is 12 ft (3.65 m)
• Under extreme circumstances, a width of 9 ft (2.70 m) may
be used.

(3.65 m) for major highways.
• Typical cross slope is 3% for paved shoulders and 5% for
unpaved shoulders .

• Shoulders may be surfaced either full or partial width.
• Materials used to surface shoulders include:
• Gravel,
• Crushed rock,
• Chemical additives,
• Bituminous surface treatments,
• Various forms of asphaltic or concrete pavements.
• Bituminous and concrete-surfaced shoulders should
be sloped from 2 to 6%,

Medians
A median is a wide strip of a highway used to:
• Separate traffic traveling in opposite directions.
• Offer a recovery area for out-of-control vehicles.
• Provide an area for emergency stopping.
• Provide storage area for left-turning and U-turning
vehicles.
• Decrease the amount of headlight glare.

Cross Slope
• The slope selected generally depends on the type of
pavement used.
• Typical cross slope of 1.5 to 3% High surface type
• Cross slopes greater than 2% should be avoided (for
safety).
• Typical cross slope of 2 to 6% Low surface type

Basic Cross Slope Arrangements for Divided Highways
(a) Each Pavement Slopes Two Ways
(b) Each Pavement Slopes One Way
A curb is a raised element that is used, among other things,
to denote the edge of a roadway.
Functions of curbs
• Drainage control
• Roadway edge delineation
• Enhanced appearance
• Right-of-way reduction
• Delineation of pedestrian walkways

Curbs
• Barrier Curbs
• The purpose of a barrier curb is to prevent or limit the possibility of
a vehicle’s leaving the roadway.
• Barrier curbs should not be used when the design speed is greater
than 40 mph (60km/hr).
• Mountable Curbs
• A mountable curb offers the advantage that a vehicle can cross it
when necessary.
19. 19
Gutters
• Gutters or drainage ditches are usually located on the
pavement side of a curb to provide the principal
drainage facility for the highway.
• They are sloped to prevent any hazard to traffic.
• Cross slopes of 5 to 8%.
• Width 0.3 m to 1.8 m wide.
• Gutters can be designed as V-type sections or as
broad, flat, rounded sections.
20. 20
Sidewalks
• Sidewalks are an integral part of city roads,
sometimes provided in rural areas.
• Min. 0.6 m for maintenance of bridges.
• In residential areas the sidewalk width varies between
1.2 to 2.4 m.

Minimum Grade
• Minimum grades depend on the drainage conditions of
the highway.
• Zero percent grades may be used on uncurbed
pavements with adequate cross slopes.
• For curbed pavements, a minimum of 0.5 percent which
may be reduced to 0.3 percent on high-type pavement
constructed on suitably crowned, firm ground can be
used.
