criteria and exceptions listed on WFLHD-
3 (Western Federal Lands Highway
Division Highway Design Standards)
18 Coordinate horizontal and vertical
alignments in accordance with AASHTO
Green Book and Low Volume Local
Roads manual.
19 Design horizontal curves to be longer
than superimposed vertical curves.
20 Ensure variation in operating speed
between long curves or long tangents
(>500 m) and the adjacent curves is less
than 20 km/hr (10 mph)
21 Proper connection to structure(s) and
existing roadway.
SUPERELEVATION
