standard cross sections for state of Maryland

(OP)
Can anyone point me to a source for standard road cross sections used in Maryland? I need a section for a residential subdivision, 25 mph street.

See if there are any at the DOT site.

RE: standard cross sections for state of Maryland

DOT is a good starting point, but if you are creating a muni and/or county roadway, or intersecting one, you will have to meet muni and/or county ordinance.

Here in PA, PennDOT is usually more stringent than local, so you would be OK.  Just verify muni and/or county compliance.

RE: standard cross sections for state of Maryland

Here at NDOR we use a minimum design standards. I was produced by the Board of Public Roads and Classifications. You can find it at our web site. If you are doing the work for the Maryland D.O.T. Then I suggest you contact them and see if you can get you hands on a copy. These items are provided to contractors free of charge or a small printing fee is required.
Good Luck,
Regards,

Thanks guys

RE: standard cross sections for state of Maryland

MSHA won't help you much unless it is a State Road. You need to go to the Public Works Department of the County that you are working in.
