- Moves in a logical sequence from the planning and economic justification for a highway, through the geometric design and traffic analysis of highway links and intersections, to the design and maintenance of both flexible and rigid pavements
- Covers geometric alignment of highways, junction and pavement design, structural design and pavement maintenance
- Includes detailed discussions of traffic analysis and the economic appraisal of projects
- Makes frequent reference to the Department of Transportâs Design Manual for Roads and Bridges
