Preliminary survey
Preliminary horizontal and vertical alignment
determined and all feasible routes are evaluated for:
1-Minimize the instruction cost
2-Minimize the impact on the Environment
3-Function of term Safety
4-maximise of the economic investment(cost/benefit)

Shoulder:
It is provided along the road edge to
serve as an emergency lane for vehicle.
It act as a service lane for vehicles
that have broken down.
The minimum shoulder width is 2.5
m
The color should be different from that
of the pavement so as to be distinct.

Traffic capacity:
The ability of a roadway to accommodate traffic volume. It is expressed as the
maximum number of vehicle in a lane or a road that can pass a given point in unit
time, usually an hour.
Basic capacity:
The maximum volume of vehicles(PC) per hour that can pass a certain
point or section of a road in a given time under the ideal condition
(most ideal road way, traffic and control conditions that can possibly be
attained)
Possible capacity:
Practical capacity:
