Indian Roads
� India has a large road network of over 3.314 million
kilometers of roadways (2.1 million miles).
� It is 3rd largest road network in the world.
� At 0.66 km of highway per square kilometer of land the
density of India’s highway network is higher than that of
the United States (0.65) and far higher than that of
China's (0.16) or Brazil's (0.20).

Factors Influencing Highway Alignment
Requirements:
� Short
� Easy � Safe
� Economical
Factors controlling alignment :
1) Obligatory points
A. Obligatory points through which alignment should pass through ( bridge site,
intermediate town , Mountain pass etc
B. Obligatory points through which alignment should not pass. (Religious Places,Lakes/Ponds
2) Traffic 3) Geometric design
4) Economics
5) Other considerations

Factors governing alignment
� Obligatory points – The location should avoid obstructions such as places of cemeteries, archeological, historical monument, public facilities like schools and hospitals, utility services.
� Geometric design features – Facilitate easy grade and curvature
– Enable ruling gradient in most sections
– Void sudden changes in sight distance, especially near crossings – Avoid sharp horizontal curves
– Avoid road intersections near bend or at the top or bottom of a hill

Factors governing alignment
� Precautions at river and railway crossings
– Bridges should be preferably be located at right
angles to the river flow, not located on a horizontal curve.
– Crossing railway lines should avoid intersections
at gradient, frequent crossing and recrossing

Factors governing alignment
� Topographical control points – The alignment, where possible should avoid passing through
� Marshy and low lying land with poor drainage
� Flood prone areas
� Unstable hilly features � Avalanche prone areas
Cross Slope
• Flat terrain : 0 – 10%
• Rolling terrain :10 to 25%
• Mountainous terrain:–25% - 40%
• Steep : >60%
– A location on high ground should be preferred rather than valley to avoid cross drainage works

Factors governing alignment
� Materials and constructional features – Deep cutting should be avoided
– Earth work is to be balanced; quantities for filling and excavation
– Alignment should preferably be through better soil area to minimize pavement thickness
– Location may be near sources of embankment and pavement materials

Traffic
� Trend, Direction and pattern of traffic are
critical elements.
� OD survey should be conducted.
� Desire lines based on survey should be
drawn to indicate the desired pattern of traffic
flow.

Horizontal alignment
Adjustments in horizontal alignment can help reduce the potential for generating roadway sediment.
The objective is to minimize roadway cuts and fills and to avoid unstable
areas.
When unstable or steep slopes must be traversed, adjustments in vertical alignment can minimize impacts and produce a stable road by reducing
cuts and fills

Guidance for Route Selection
� Straight line alignment preferred.
� Avoid obstructions and frequent railway and river
crossings.
� Avoid landslide, erosion prone and water logged and
marshy area.
� Avoid alignment on clayey soil.
� Alignment should aim at maintaining uniform design
speed, easy grades and curvature.
