Task 2
1. Because it is a critical component the creation of an effective road network. (Line
1-2)
2. Good and effective highway design is based upon an accurate knowledge of
the properties of the materials used and the design loadings. (Line 3-5)
3. The most appropriate location, alignment, and shape of a highway are selected
during the design stage. (Line 10-11)

4. The highway engineer would address the practicalities of cost effective access for
all modes of travel, assessment of the suitability of the existing infrastructure, the
parking and servicing arrangements and the detailed design of on and off- site civil
engineering works. (Line 16-20)
5. The purposes of the final design are to produce further detailed topographical,
geological and geotechnical surveys; produce detailed design of bridges/ structures,
drainage, earthworks and pavement; and to consider health and safety factor into
the detailed design. (Line 20-23)

Task 3
1. Designs and supervises construction of infrastructure such as building roads, tunnels,
airports, dams, bridges, water storage and sewage systems.
2. There are 3 major issues that pose a challenge in accelerating road development
in Indonesia. First, land acquisition, second project planning and preparation and
third, in terms of funding.
 Task 4
1. Paragraph 1
Main Idea : Highway design is a critical component in the creation of an effective
road network, and civil engineers are vital to delivering the essential infrastructure
which connects our towns and cities.
Supporting Idea :
- Good and effective highway design is based upon an accurate knowledge of the
properties of the materials used and the design loadings, using well-researched
engineering principles and developed and validated computer programs.
- It must also take account of the interaction with the existing ground and the
environment.

2. Paragraph 2
Main Idea : Highway engineers strive to predict and analyze all possible civil impacts
of highway systems.
Supporting Idea :
- Highway planning involves the estimation of current and future traffic volumes on a
road network.
- The most appropriate location, alignment, and shape of a highway are selected during
the design stage.
- Highway design involves the consideration of three major factors (human, vehicular,
and roadway) and how these factors interact to provide a safe highway.
- Furthermore, some other considerations are the adverse effects on the environment,
such as noise pollution, air pollution, water pollution, and other ecological impacts.
3. Paragraph 3
Main Idea : In preparing a concept design for a major development.
Supporting Idea :
- The highway engineer would address the practicalities of cost effective access for all
modes of travel, assessment of the suitability of the existing infrastructure, the parking
 and servicing arrangements and the detailed design of on and off- site civil engineering
works.
- Moreover, the purposes of the final design are to produce further detailed topographical,
geological and geotechnical surveys; produce detailed design of bridges/ structures,
drainage, earthworks and pavement; and to consider health and safety factor into the
detailed design.
A. Build highways with well-researched knowledges and principles of civil engineering
which can provide safety as well as comfort to the road users.
B. An effective highway design is based upon an accurate knowledge of the properties of
the materials used and the design loadings, using well-researched engineering principles
and developed and validated computer programs.
C. Palnning the estimation of current and future traffic volumes on a road network. predict
and analyze all possible civil impacts of highway systems. The most appropriate
location, alignment, and shape of a highway are selected during the design stage.
D. The consideration of three major factors (human, vehicular, and roadway) and how
these factors interact to provide a safe highway. Furthermore, some other considerations

are the adverse effects on the environment, such as noise pollution, air pollution, water
pollution, and other ecological impacts.
E. Adress the practicalities of cost effective access for all modes of travel, assessment of
the suitability of the existing infrastructure, the parking and servicing arrangements and
the detailed design of on and off- site civil engineering works.
