Highway
Engineering
Highway engineering is the
process of
design
and construction of efficient and
safe
highways
and
roads.
It became prominent in the 20th
century and has its roots in the
discipline of
civil
engineering. Standards of
highway
engineering
are continuously being improved.
Concepts such as
grade,
surface texture, sight distance and
radii
of horizontal bends and vertical
slopes in relation to
design speed
and in addition to road
junction
design (intersections
and
interchanges)
are all important elements of
highway engineering. Most
developed
nations have extensive
highway networks.
