Highway planning Jayakar committee: 1927 Control road fund: 1929 Indian road congress: 1934 Motor vehicle act: 1939 Nagpur road conference: 1943 20 years road development plan: 1943-63(Nagpur) Target: 16km/ 100sq.km Central Road Research Institute: 1950 20 years road development plan: 1961-81(Bombay) Target 32km/ 100sq.km 20 years road development plan 1981-2001(Lucknow) Target: 82km/ 100sq.km Highway Research Board: 1973 Geometric design: Skid: Path travelled more than the circumferential movement of wheels. Slip: Path is less than circumferential movement of wheels. Longitudinal friction co-efficient= 0.35 to 0.40 Lateral friction co-efficient = 0.15

Unevenness index = bump integrator

If two way traffic is allowed in a single lane road team stopping sight distance should be twice the stopping distance calculated. F= friction coefficient break efficiency Intermediate sight distance= 2 SSD Head light sight distance= SSD.
