Design templates for each road type

srkulhalli - 8-APR-2009

Based on the above classification, a number of road types were obtained in section 7. As mentioned in section 3, we are here proposing a reference design/ design template for each of the road type enumerated above.

Classification of Roads

srkulhalli - 8-APR-2009

As we explained in section 3, it is impractical to go through the design process for every road. In addition, it is desired that there is a basic degree of standardization across all the roads in a city.

Design Example

srkulhalli - 8-APR-2009

Here we run through a real life example of a stretch of a road. We will look at the current state of this stretch of road, go through its uses as listed in section 4, and see the requirements of each of its uses as mentioned in section 5.

Utility uses
