Design Variation Request

Project Name: Date:

Project Description: Prepared by:

Project Location:

A Design Variation is requested for the following element:

Design Speed Lane Widths Shoulders Widths Bridge Widths

Structural Capacity Vertical Clearance Grades Cross Slope

Superelevation Horizontal Alignment Vertical Alignment Stopping Sight Distance

Horizontal Clearance Other

1. Project Description.
[Description of existing facility: Number of lanes, median width, shoulder width, etc. and
Proposed work: New Construction, Resurfacing, shoulder widening, bridge widening, etc.]
2. Description of Design Variation.
[Description of the non-standard design element that requires the variation and applied criteria
(AASHTO and/or HIB)]
3. Operation and Safety impact
[Description of the anticipated impact on operations, adjacent sections, level of services, safety,
long and short term effects. Is the variation temporary or permanent? Description of the
anticipated cumulative effects.]
4. Safety Analysis.
Mention any additional work which would qualify for safety enhancement such as median
barrier, guardrail upgrade, slope flattening, super correction, elimination of roadside obstacles,
additional lane and shoulder width, alignment improvement, etc.
5. Benefit/Cost Ratio
[Provide a time value analysis between the benefit to society quantified in Libyan Dinars and the
cost to society quantified in Libyan Dinars over the life of the variation. The benefit to society is
quantified by the reduction in crash cost foreseeable because of the proposed design and the cost
due the implementation of that change such as construction and maintenance cost over the
project]
