Optimized mobility, Cost control, Future preparedness, Strategic phasing, or financing Alignment
What is the key consideration in highway development and planning for future sustainability.
Future preparedness.
Name the approach used to create a road network that ensures efficient movement.
Optimized mobility
What aspect of highway development considers the cost-benefit balance of projects?
Financing alignment
List one factor that highway planners analyze to anticipate future demands.
Population growth, economic trends, or technological advancements
When a road is constructed in a rectangular, radial, hexagonal, or any other pattern for proper traffic management, it is called a?
Road Pattern
Also known as a grid road pattern, is a type of urban road layout characterized by a network of streets that intersect at right angles, forming a grid-like arrangement.
Rectangular Pattern
This design creates a hub-and-spoke arrangement, where roads radiate outward in various directions from a single focal point.
Radial Pattern
Also known as a honeycomb or hexgrid road pattern, is an urban road layout characterized by a network of streets and roads that form a hexagonal grid.
Hexagonal Pattern
What is it called the center of the Radial, Star and circular road pattern?
Focal point
What are the 4 types of Horizontal Curves
Simple, Compound, Reverse, Spiral Curve
What are the 2 types of Vertical Curve?
Summit and Valley/Sag Curve
Cite a possible tendency for a car to traverse the road unsafely?
Car will overturn/ Car will skid laterally upwards.
