Project Title: Ramp Design Considerations for Facilities without Frontage Roads 16. Abstract Based on a recent change in Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) policy, frontage roads are not to be included along controlled-access highways unless a study indicates that the frontage road improves safety, improves operations, lowers overall facility costs, or provides essential access. Interchange design options that do not include frontage roads are to be considered for all new freeway construction. Ramps in non- frontage-road settings can be more challenging to design than those in frontage-road settings for several reasons. Adequate ramp length, appropriate horizontal and vertical curvature, and flaring to increase storage area at the crossroad intersection should all be used to design safe and efficient ramps for non-frontage-road settings.

    Glossary of Road Design and Construction Terms Nebraska ◆Department ◆of ◆Roads 3-C Planning The continuing, cooperative, comprehensive planning process in an urbanized area as required by federal law. (e.g. Lincoln, Omaha, or Sioux City Area Planning) 3R Project 3R stands for resurfacing, restoration and rehabilitation. These projects are designed to extend the life of an existing highway surface and to enhance highway safety. These projects usually overlay the existing surface and replace guardrails. 3R projects are generally constructed within the existing highway right-of-way. Abutment An abutment is made from concrete on piling and supports the end of a bridge deck. Access Control The extent to which the state, by law, regulates where vehicles may enter or leave the highway. Action Plan A set of general guidelines and procedures developed by each state to assure that adequate consideration is given to possible social, economic and environmental effects of proposed highway projects. All states were directed to develop this plan by the Federal Highway Administration. Adapted Grasses Grasses which are native to the area in which they are planted, but have adjusted to the conditions of the environment. Adverse Environmental Effects Those conditions which cause temporary or permanent damage to the environment. Aesthetics In the highway context, the considerations of landscaping, land use and structures to insure that the proposed highway is pleasing to the eye of the viewer from the roadway and to the viewer looking at the roadway.

  • North/South Kuna Corridor (Railroad Crossing in the City of Kuna)
    North/South Kuna Corridor Railroad crossing in the City of Kuna on Swan Falls Road Priority 20 Background A Union Pacific Railroad line runs through Kuna just south of downtown and parallel to Indian Creek. An average of 20 trains travels this route each day, according to Kuna Crossing: Feasibility and Implementation Plan;1 the total number can be as high as 39 trains a day. Train speeds range between 40 mph and 70 mph, and average train length is 88 cars. Trains have as many as 150 cars, up to two miles in total length, depending on the size of individual cars. Delays of up to 3½ minutes are observed at rail crossings in Kuna when trains travel through. The average time that crossing gates are down at the railroad crossings is 2½ minutes. The City of Kuna has requested a railroad overpass to alleviate emergency response delays, traffic delays, and north-south connectivity issues. Ada County Highway District (ACHD) completed the Kuna Crossing study to determine the most feasible alternative, and Swan Falls Road was selected as the preferred location.2 The Corridor at a Glance • Swan Falls Road/Linder Road corridor mostly rural and suburban: o Farms and a few large-lot subdivisions adjacent to road from I-84 south to Hubbard Road o Subdivisions, schools, and businesses along road from Hubbard to downtown Kuna and a short distance south of Indian Creek and the railroad o Farms and open brush from King Road south to Snake River/Swan Falls Dam • Road is two lanes wide, owned and maintained by ACHD o Combined with Linder Road, it is the longest north-south route in the Treasure Valley .

  • Geometric Overpass Extraction from Vector Road Data and Dsms
    Geometric Overpass Extraction from Vector Road Data and DSMs Joshua Schpok Google Inc.

The technique uses a digital surface model (DSM) and roughly aligned vector road data and outputs geome- try approximating the shape and elevation of the elevated road deck. Our method is robust against noise in DSM el- evations and can recover elevated roads partially obscured by trees and other overpasses.

  • Claremore Railroad Overpass Feasibility Study 2003
    CLAREMORECLAREMORE RAILROADRAILROAD OVERPASSOVERPASS FEASIBILITYFEASIBILITY STUDYSTUDY City of Claremore, OK C.H. Guernsey & Company Tulsa Office 4870 South Lewis, Suite 203 Tulsa, OK 74105 918.744.4335 www.chguernsey.com with: Bridgefarmer and Associates, Inc., and Traffic Engineering Consultants, Inc. June, 2003 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The citizens of the City of Claremore and the surrounding area have been inconvenienced and at times had their personal safety jeopardized by at- grade railroad crossings for many years. The purpose of this feasibility study is to investigate and analyze potential sites for grade separated railroad crossings in Claremore between Country Club Drive and Blue Starr Drive. An initial investigation of five potential sites was conducted at the following locations; Blue Starr Drive, Will Rogers Blvd., Dupont Ave., Archer Drive, and Holiday Lane Extension. Conceptual designs for three alternatives were evaluated further and developed to a level of detail appropriate to convey the design intent, the alternatives were reviewed for possible environmental constraints, and cost estimates were prepared for each alternative. The cost of the Blue Starr Drive alternative is estimated to be $4,300,000, Archer Drive is estimated to be $9,900,000, and the Holiday Lane Extension alternative is estimated to be $8,200,000. Based upon the conceptual designs developed and the operational, cost, traffic and environmental information assembled for this study, the Blue Starr Drive option appears to be the most appropriate solution. This report recommends the Blue Starr Drive option as the technically preferred alternative. The estimated cost of this option is significantly less than the other alternatives, and the location near the central business district and the ability to span both the UP and the BNSF railroads offer significant safety benefits.

  • 2020 LIMITED ACCESS STATE NUMBERED HIGHWAYS As of December 31, 2019
    2020 LIMITED ACCESS STATE NUMBERED HIGHWAYS As of December 31, 2019 CONNECTICUT DEPARTMENT OF Transportation BUREAU OF POLICY AND PLANNING Office of Roadway Information Systems Roadway INVENTORY SECTION INTRODUCTION Each year, the Roadway Inventory Section within the Office of Roadway Information Systems produces this document entitled "Limited Access - State Numbered Highways," which lists all the limited access state highways in Connecticut. Limited access highways are defined as those that the Commissioner, with the advice and consent of the Governor and the Attorney General, designates as limited access highways to allow access only at highway intersections or designated points. This is provided by Section 13b-27 of the Connecticut General Statutes. This document is distributed within the Department of Transportation and the Division Office of the Federal Highway Administration for information and use. The primary purpose to produce this document is to provide a certified copy to the Office of the State Traffic Administration (OSTA). The OSTA utilizes this annual listing to comply with Section 14-298 of the Connecticut General Statutes. This statute, among other directives, requires the OSTA to publish annually a list of limited access highways. In compliance with this statute, each year the OSTA publishes the listing on the Department of Transportation’s website (http://www.ct.gov/dot/osta). The following is a complete listing of all state numbered limited access highways in Connecticut and includes copies of Connecticut General Statute Section 13b-27 (Limited Access Highways) and Section 14-298 (Office of the State Traffic Administration). It should be noted that only those highways having a State Route Number, State Road Number, Interstate Route Number or United States Route Number are listed.
