Part 10: Subsurface Drainage provides advice on the general requirements for drainage materials, design of pavement drains and construction and maintenance considerations. This Part contains information on the types and uses of subsurface drainage…

This project had its origins in an earlier project which showed that crash rates increased at extremes of horizontal and vertical geometry, and were lowest with narrow sealed shoulders. This paper reports an investigation based on the original…

This report documents work undertaken in relation to the Austroads Business Systems Project BS.A.N.523 Salinity and Rising Water-Tables - Risks for Network Asset management. The purpose of the project was to identify the potential impact of dryland…

Stormwater runoff from roads has the potential to impact aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems through changes to water quality, water quantity and water flowpath. It is important to manage stormwater to reduce such pressures on sensitive receiving…

While truck tracking characteristics are a primary consideration for intersection geometry and curve widening practices, most road geometric design standards, particularly alignment design standards, are based on the performance characteristics of…

This manual explores the impact of road runoff and drainage on aquatic and terrestrial biodiversity. Road Runoff and Drainage aims to assist road infrastructure planners, designers, environmental officers and project managers in achieving…

This paper reports a study which brings together information on road geometry (curvature and grade), cross-section, traffic flow and crashes. It allows the influence of these other factors on road crashes to be assessed in ways not possible before.…
