Description
Increasingly, those concerned with new developments have to address traffic-related matters when dealing with means of access. This book provides a practical guide for those engaged in identifying and addressing such matters. Information is included to assist the professional in formulating answers to the traffic/highway questions which arise in relation to a development proposal. In practice, alternative traffic/highway access solutions may be suggested and considered: there is not always a single clear option. It is, therefore, important to understand the basic principles underlying the design approaches and tecniques generally employed. This information is presented in a straightforward manner, with a practical orientation. The book is of practical use to all professionals engaged in considering access for developments, providing a clear concise explanation of the issues to be addressed and guidance for determining solutions.
