Part 3 – Road Works

3.7    Road Geometry

The requirements in this section generally apply to urban areas where the speed environment is up to 50 km/h.  Many of the requirements can also apply in the rural areas where there is a higher speed environment.  Where there are requirements that specifically apply to the rural areas these are identified and detailed.

In areas of rural character the geometric design shall include gradients, super-elevation and road widening.

Note:  The Austroads publication “Rural Road Design – A Guide to the Geometric Design of Rural Roads” provides useful guidelines.
