Public and Private Roadway Design
Designing Safe, Efficient, and Compliant Roadway Systems
Public and private roadway design is essential for creating safe, functional, and well-connected transportation networks. From local streets to private access drives, effective roadway design ensures efficient traffic flow, accessibility, and compliance with local and state standards. Our designs balance safety, durability, and cost-efficiency to meet the needs of both public agencies and private developers.
Public and Private Roadway Design
Benefits
Create Safe and Functional Roadways
Our designs focus on prioritizing safety, incorporating proper lane widths, signage, sight distances, and pedestrian access features.
Address Compliance With Local and State Regulations
Our roadway designs are built to align with VDOT standards, municipal requirements, and ADA accessibility guidelines to support smooth approvals.
Support Long-Term Durability and Efficiency
Engineered for longevity, our roadway designs incorporate proper drainage, pavement structures, and traffic management features.
What to Expect
The roadway design process follows a structured approach to create safe, efficient, and compliant transportation systems. Here’s what to expect:
* Every project is unique! Exact steps and services will vary.
1. Site Analysis and Traffic Assessment
We evaluate site conditions, traffic patterns, and projected volumes to determine roadway alignment, capacity, and safety requirements.
2. Horizontal and Vertical Alignments
We design roadway layouts, including curves, intersections, and profiles, to optimize safety, efficiency, and accessibility.
3. Roadway Cross-Sections and Pavement Design
Detailed cross-sections and pavement structures are designed to ensure durability and compliance with local standards.
4. Intersection and Traffic Control Design
We incorporate traffic control elements such as signage, striping, signals, and roundabouts to promote safe traffic flow.
5. Drainage and Stormwater Integration
Our designs include roadside ditches, culverts, and stormwater systems to manage runoff and prevent roadway flooding.
6. ADA-Compliant Pedestrian and Bicycle Facilities
Sidewalks, crosswalks, and bike lanes are designed to meet accessibility standards and promote multimodal transportation.
7. Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) Plans
We develop MOT plans to ensure safe and efficient traffic flow during construction phases.
8. Permitting and Coordination With Agencies
We coordinate with agencies like VDOT and local municipalities to obtain necessary permits and approvals.
03
You Want a Design That Meets VDOT and Local Standards
Our designs align with local and state standards to support regulatory approvals and long-term roadway performance.
02
You Need to Upgrade or Expand Existing Roadways
Roadway improvements enhance capacity, address safety concerns, and meet current standards for traffic flow and accessibility.
01
You’re Developing a New Subdivision or Commercial Site
Properly designed roadways ensure safe and efficient access for residents, customers, and service vehicles.
Use Cases
Roadway design is essential for projects requiring new roads, access improvements, or traffic management solutions. If any of these scenarios apply to you, this process could be the solution:
