Abstract
Applies to both single and dual carriageway roads in both urban and rural areas. It shall be used to derive the Design Speed, and the appropriate values of geometric parameters for use in the design of the road alignment. It states the basic principles to be used for co-ordinating the various elements of the road design, which together form the three dimensional design of the road. All parameters are now based upon Desirable Minimum values, except for Sag Curves which have not previously had Desirable Minimum values.
