3.4.12 Typical Cross Sections
3.4.12.1 Diagrams 3.4.12.1 to 3.4.12.8 illustrate cross sections for the following road types:
(i)
(ii)
(iii)
(iv)
(v)
(vi)
Urban and Rural Trunk Roads
Primary Distributor Roads
District and Local Distributor Roads
Rural Roads
Elevated Single Carriageway Roads
Feeder Roads
(vii) Service Roads, and
(viii) Industrial Access Roads
3.4.12.2 Whilst the cross sections are intended to represent typical situations, it may well be
necessary to adjust certain of the dimensions to suit the particular circumstances, though
very localised adjustments, other than in respect of widening on sharp curves, should be
avoided wherever possible.
3.4.12.3 Dimensions which should be regarded as minimal and therefore not subject to any further
reduction are those for marginal strips and carriageway widths, though in the case of the
latter some reduction in respect of Rural Trunk Roads and Rural Roads may be acceptable.
For further details on this and on the other components which form the total road width the
relevant sections should be consulted.
