Episode 3 focused on the geometric design of the road, specifically key factors in the cross-section geometry, materials, and movement of materials that you should consider to help reduce the environmental impact of roads you design. This included a discussion of cut & fill slopes, surfacing, spoil & borrow sites, and more!
Our overall series goal is to discuss some of the common impacts roads have on the environment, strategies to mitigate those impacts, and ways we can incorporate those strategies in our design and planning process.
