Currently there is no single text book that addresses the fundamental geometric concepts of urban and rural road design. The traffic behavior has significantly changed over the last two decades and warrants newer methods for road design. Unlike the advances made in building, ship, and aircraft design, road design is still carried out in a traditional way which is more than fifty years old. Starting from the traditional design process this book introduces a 3-dimensional geometric design process of urban and rural road design. It will prove to be a valuable textbook for undergraduate and graduate university students as well as road planning and design practitioners. Interested readers may find this book a valuable resource in conjunction with the authors recently published book entitled “Intelligent Road Design”, which is written at an advanced level and addresses intelligent algorithmic applications in road alignment optimization.
