Widening the Road

The design width of Road pavement for a traffic volume is equal to its
capacity of the Road. - The design service volume that should be
considered for design/ improvement of Road should be the expected
volume at the end of the design life. This can be computed by
projecting present volume at an appropriate growth rate. - The
present volume of traffic is computed by traffic census using factors
for conversion of different type of vehicle into equivalent passenger
car unit (PCU) based on their relative interference value as given
below:

Widening the Road

 - Capacity of two lane road can be increased by

providing paved shoulder of 1.5 m width on either
side. By which 15 % increase in capacity can be
expected vis a vis the value given above.
