This course is the first of two that focuses on the geometric design of horizontal alignments for modern roads and highways. Its contents are intended to serve as guidance and not as an absolute standard or rule. Upon course completion, you should be familiar with the general design of horizontal roadway alignments. The course objective is to give engineers and designers an in-depth look at the principles to be considered when designing roadways.

This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is created to enhance the understanding of the course materials.

This course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:

• Design Consideration

• Cross Slopes

• Grades

• Horizontal Curves

• Tangent Curve Transitions
