Geometric Design

I. Cross Section

Design Traffic; AADT = 2,100

(From DPWH – Desirable Design Standards for Philippine Highways, 2004)
Pavement Width (m) = 3.5 (per lane)
Shoulder Width (m) = 1.5 (per lane)
Road Right of Way (m) = 60
Normal Crown, nc (%) = 2
Shoulder Slope (%) = 3
Relative Slope, S (m/m) = 0.0066
