guidelines for roads
(OP)
I am trying to find descriptions and various technical details, meaning widths, materials used, costings etc of all types of roads - minor and major and including motorways.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Lynsey.

RE: guidelines for roads
Caltrans has a website for Highway design manuals, plus others (decision making, costing, analyses for highway construction and hundred others).
http://www.caltrans.ca.gov/hq/oppd/hdm/hdmtoc.htm
for other manuals (including Project Design and developement Manual for building roads), check
http://www.caltrans.ca.gov/siteindex.html
Also try US Corps of Engineer :
http://www.usace.army.mil/inet/usace-docs/armytm/
If it still exists, also check "Road design" on GeoCAL (for educational purpose by postgraduate students in UK)
http://www.dur.ac.uk/~des0www4/cal/roads/titlepg.html
Hope this helps
RE: guidelines for roads
Go on the Web and contact the various DOT's a majority of them have this information available to the general public. In Nebraska we have this information available on line at www.dor.state.ne.us
Check it out it is a very good resource.
