• Abstract:
  The project team compiled and reviewed existing road cross-section guidance (for urban, suburban, and rural environments), along with research findings, to identify content that would be appropriate for inclusion in Texas-based guidelines for cross-section optimization. A subsequent task focused on considering the data needs for assessing a proposed cross-section treatment, using the results from previous efforts to determine if existing guidance and data are sufficient to develop cross-section optimization guidelines. The project concluded by providing recommendations for further evaluation and adoption.
