Primary Control( Cont.)
The nature of the surrounding topography and land use may govern in many cases the choice of best alternative of highway location.
It also governs highway slopes, drainage, speed, …
2-Topography

1-Speed(Distance over time……..mph,kph,
ft/sec.)Running speed: Distance / overall time.Operating speed: The highest overall speed
in such a way it is not greater than the design speed.
Design speed: The speed selected for design of highway elements.
- It is the max. safe speed- It is the speed that at least 95% of
the drivers use speed less than or equal to it.

2-Design Vehicle Is that vehicle selected to represent all vehicles on the highway
Types: - Passenger Car (PC)
- Single Unit Truck (SUT)
- Bus
- Semitrailer Combination (WB-40)
- Semitrailer Combination (WB-50)
- Semitrailer Fulltrailer (WB-60)
Single Unit Truck (SUT) is the type of the vehicle considered according to Egyptian Specifications
