Most design engineers believe a designvalue published in a manual is thereprimarily for safety reasons, and that anydeviation from that value will result insignificant degradation in safety.

In Fact
Rigid design standards in many cases haveevolved to serve three purposes:
• Efficiency in design,
• As a quality control measure,
• Efficiency in construction.

Philosophical Considerations in Highway Design
“The direct application of established design criteriaor standards (i.e., nominal safety) is no assurancethat a certain quality of design (i.e., substantivesafety) will be achieved—indicating that such criteriaare not sufficient in themselves.”
Jack E. Leisch“Dynamic Design for Safety”ITE 1972

AASHTO Policy
AASHTO has emphasized that the Policy onGeometric Design is a flexible document.
Indeed, a close reading of it reveals thatthere is significant flexibility in bothtechnical content and recommended usage.

Focus on Standards
The focus on rigid standards has been translatedin the minds of designers to a belief thatstandards equals safety, and that no compromisescan be accepted.
This view holds even with design values thatclearly are not related to substantive safety.

Training
• For the most part, we have focused on the importance of nominal safety, and
• Many designers have been taught that adherence to nominal safety directly translates into substantive safety performance.

Preliminary and Final Engineering
Traffic volume is the chief determinant of relativerisk.
The length of highway over which the exceptionoccurs strongly influences relative risk.
The design element or feature in question (lanewidth, shoulder width, superelevation, curvature,grade) will have differing expected sensitivities basedon the type of facility.
