Download or read book Gravel Roads written by Ken Skorseth and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this manual is to provide clear and helpful information for maintaining gravel roads. Very little technical help is available to small agencies that are responsible for managing these roads. Gravel road maintenance has traditionally been "more of an art than a science" and very few formal standards exist. This manual contains guidelines to help answer the questions that arise concerning gravel road maintenance such as: What is enough surface crown? What is too much? What causes corrugation? The information is as nontechnical as possible without sacrificing clear guidelines and instructions on how to do the job right.

Download or read book Traffic Sheds Rural Highway Capacity and Growth Management written by Lane Kendig and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even zoned rural communities can experience traffic network failure when development encroaches. Improving roads to meet demand is often financially impossible for rural counties. Implementing traffic sheds--a relatively new planning concept--offers one solution. Traffic shed analysis is worthy of consideration in counties where standard growth management techniques have been met with resistance and traffic congestion problems are starting to emerge. The traffic shed concept is, first, an analytical tool. If analysis indicates that traffic on existing roads is nearing or has exceeded available capacity, planners may use the results to persuade local officials to address growth issues. When used as a regulatory system, a traffic shed directs rural traffic in one directlon along designated county and township roads to major arterials leading to urban areas. Planners calculate road capacity, using standard transportation methodology, to implement a traffic shed system. The report is illustrated with maps, charts, and diagrams, and includes a detailed case study of traffic shed analysis and implementation in Williamson County, Tennessee.

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This report presents results from a multidisciplinary research project that developed a toolkit of behavioral traffic safety countermeasures for highway safety partners focused on rural road safety (e.g., tribal authorities, local government, law enforcement, emergency responders, engineers) to reduce the frequency and severity of motor vehicle crashes on roads in rural areas. This publication will be of interest to state highway safety offices; state and local departments of transportation; county departments of public works; tribal authorities; and other stakeholders concerned with improving traffic safety in rural areas." -- publisher's website
Download or read book How to Make Two lane Rural Roads Safer written by Ruediger Lamm and published by Witpress. This book was released on 2007 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When accidents happen, drivers are blamed for the mishap. When drivers consistently fail at certain locations, it then becomes obvious that the problem lies not with them, but with the geometry of the road itself. Because accidents are not evenly distributed throughout the road network, locations with high accident rates are a clear indication that there are other factors involved, besides driver error, which are characterized by the road itself. In most countries, two-lane rural roads make up about 90 percent of rural networks and they account for over 60 percent of highway fatalities worldwide, approximately 500,000 people per year. The methodology described in this book will support the achievement of quantified measures of: design consistency; operating speed consistency; and, driving dynamic consistency. The safety criteria are then combined into an overall safety module for a simplified general overview of the safety evaluation process. The authors also encourage the coordination of safety concerns with important economic, environmental and aesthetic considerations. This book will be an invaluable aid to educators, students, consultants, highway engineers and administrators, as well as scientists in the fields of highway design and traffic safety engineering.

Download or read book American Rural Highways written by Thomas Radford Agg and published by Library of Alexandria. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American Rural Highways was written for use as a text or reference in courses dealing with rural highways and intended for agricultural engineers, students in agriculture and for short courses and extension courses. The reader is assumed to have familiarity with drawing and surveying, but the text is adapted primarily for students who do not receive training along the lines of the usual course in Highway or Civil Engineering. The text is intended to familiarize the student with the relation of highway improvement to national progress, to indicate the various problems of highway administration and to set forth the usual methods of design and construction for rural highways in sufficient detail to establish a clear understanding of the distinguishing characteristics and relative serviceability of each of the common types of roadway surface. Experience with classes made up of students in agriculture or agricultural engineering and with trade school students in road making served as a guide in the selection and arrangement of the material. Detailed discussion of tests of materials and of the theory of design has to a considerable extent been eliminated as being outside of the scope of the course for which the text is intended.
