Design & Layout of Road Systems
Wide enough for largest vehicle permitted
One way systems where necessary Avoid routes close to vulnerable plant Avoid sharp and blind bends Use mirrors to improve vision Make entrances/gateways wide enough

Design & Layout of Road Systems
Sensible speed limits & signpost Use speed humps Display prominent signs where
necessary Provide screens for protection from
exhaust fumes
