New York State Department of Transportation ENGINEERING BULLETIN EB 13-030 Expires one year after issue unless replaced sooner Title: HIGHWAY DESIGN MANUAL REVISION N0. 73 - CHAPTER 2 - DESIGN CRITERIA Target Audience: Manufacturers (18) Local Govt. (31) Agencies (32) Surveyors (33) Consultants (34) Contractors (39) ____________( Approved: /s/Stephen A. Zargham___________ ) Stephen A. Zargham, PE Director, Design Quality Assurance Bureau ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION: • This Engineering Bulletin (EB) is effective beginning with projects submitted for design • • approval on or after January 1, 2014, but designers may begin implementation before the effective date. Superseded Issuances: None Disposition of Issued Materials: These changes will be incorporated into the Highway Design Manual, Chapter 2 by this revision. PURPOSE: The purpose of this EB is to announce the availability of Revision 73 to the Highway Design Manual (HDM) – Chapter 2 – Design Criteria. TECHNICAL INFORMATION: • • HDM Exhibit 2-9 Traveled Way Widths for Ramps and Turning Roadways is revised to: 1) Simplify the traveled way width determination by providing one table for interstate ramps and another table for non-interstate ramps and turning roadways, including non-interstate highways that are designated as Qualifying Highways (see HDM section 2.5.3.2). This results in minimum and economical traveled way widths while meeting AASHTO recommendations for large vehicle accommodation. Since Exhibit 2-9a directly addresses the requirements for the interstate tractor trailer (WB-67/WB20), Condition D is no longer needed. 2) Update the values and instructions to reflect guidance in the 2011 AASHTO Green Book; 3) Correct errors in the traveled way width values in the previous version of HDM Exhibit 2-9. Highway Design Manual (HDM) Section 2.7.5.2B Lane Width is revised to read: “B. Traveled Way Width Determine minimum traveled way width from Exhibits 2-9a or 2-9b, as appropriate. Use Exhibit 2-9a for interstate ramps and Exhibit 2-9b for non-interstate ramps and turning roadways, including non-interstate highways that are designated as Qualifying Highways.” 9/03/13 Date EB 13-030 Page 2 of 2 • • Typographical errors on 2 additional pages have been corrected. On page 2-37 Note 7 has been corrected to read “For bridges, determine the lane and shoulder width from the NYSDOT Bridge Manual, Section 2.” On page 2-49 the last 2 bullets next to the text have been removed. The text remains. A correction was made on page 2-27. The following language was added under Grade in Section 2.7.2.1 E to correct a previous omission: “Determine maximum from Exhibit 23”. TRANSMITTED MATERIALS: • Revised Exhibits 2-9a and 2-9b and a metric version (Exhibits M2-9a and M2-9b) are available at: https://www.dot.ny.gov/divisions/engineering/design/dqab/hdm/chapter-2 Revision to HDM Section 2.7.5.2B Lane Width is also available at the above link. • The pages modified by this revision can be found in the HDM Revisions Log at: https://www.dot.ny.gov/divisions/engineering/design/dqab/hdm/hdm-revised-logs CONTACT: Direct questions regarding this issuance to Mary Ricard, PE ([email protected]) of the Design Quality Assurance Bureau. HIGHWAY DESIGN MANUAL Chapter 2 Design Criteria Revision 73 (Limited Revision) September 3, 2013 Section Changes 2.7.2.1 Language was added under Grade in item E to correct a previous omission: “Determine maximum from Exhibit 2-3”. Exhibit 2-5 Typographical error corrected in Note 7 to read “For bridges, determine the lane and shoulder width from the NYSDOT Bridge Manual, Section 2.” 2.7.5.2A Removed the last 2 bullets next to the text. The text remains. 2.7.5.2B Revised to properly refer to revised Exhibits 2-9a and 2-9b. Exhibit 2-9 Changed to simplify the traveled way width determination by providing one table for interstate ramps and another table for non-interstate ramps and turning roadways, including non-interstate highways that are designated as Qualifying Highways.

Design Speed The design speed is either: maximum functional class speed or a speed based on the anticipated (post-construction) off-peak 85th percentile speed within the range of functional class speeds as shown below. Refer to Section 2.6.1 for guidance on design speed and Chapter 5 of this manual, Section 5.2.4 for methods to determine the off-peak 85th percentile speed. The following are the range of design speeds. Terrain Minimum Design Speed Maximum Design Speed Level 40 mph 60 mph Rolling 40 mph 60 mph Mountainous 40 mph 50 mph B. Lane Width Determine from Exhibit 2-3. C. Shoulder Width Determine from Exhibit 2-3. D. Bridge Roadway Width Determine from NYSDOT Bridge Manual, Section 2. Note that the bridge roadway width includes the lane and shoulders and is often based on the approach lane and shoulder width determined from Sections B and C, above. E. Grade Determine maximum from Exhibit 2-3. F. Horizontal Curvature Determine minimum radius from Exhibit 2-3. For curves flatter than the minimum radius, the radius and superelevation on each horizontal curve shall be correlated with the design speed in accordance with the appropriate emax table (Exhibit 2-13 for e max. = 6% or Exhibit 2-14 for emax. = 8%). G. Superelevation 8% maximum. A 6% maximum may be used in suburban areas to minimize the effect of negative side friction during peak periods with low travel speeds. 9/3/2013 §2.7.2.1 DESIGN CRITERIA 2-37 Exhibit 2-5 Design Criteria for Rural Collectors 1,7 Design Speed (mph) Travel Lane Width (ft.)

All Speeds 9/3/2013 2 5 5 6 6 7 8 Notes: 1. Routes designated as Qualifying Highways on the national network of Designated Truck Access Highways require 12 ft. travel lanes. 2. Short lengths of grade in rural areas, such as grades less than 490 ft. in length, one—way downgrades, and grades on low-volume (<1500 vpd) rural collectors may be up to 2% steeper than the grades shown above. 3. 11 ft. lanes may be retained where accident rates are acceptable. 4. 9 ft. lanes may be used for design volumes under 250 vpd. 5. .Minimum width is 4 ft. if roadside barrier is used. 4 ft. shoulder is desirable if the shoulder is intended for occasional pedestrian and/or bicycle use. 6. Shoulder width may be reduced to 4 ft. for design speeds of 40 mph to 60 mph. 7. For bridges, determine the lane and shoulder width from the NYSDOT Bridge Manual, Section 2. §2.7.3.1 2-49 2.7.5 DESIGN CRITERIA Other Roadways 2.7.5.1 Parkways Parkways that are multilane, divided freeways, or expressways with occasional at-grade intersections should follow the standards in Section 2.7.1.2 Other Freeways. Parkways that are twolane highways or multilane, divided highways with signalized intersections should follow the standards of the design classification established for the subject parkway. 2.7.5.2 Ramps (Turning Roadways for Grade-Separated Highways) Ramps are turning roadways to accommodate high volumes of turning movements between gradeseparated highways. Ramps are functionally classified based on the higher-type highway they service. For example, all the ramps to and from an interstate are considered part of the Interstate System. The design criteria for ramps are: A. Design Speed A ramp speed study is not required to determine the ramp design speed. The ramp design speed for the design criteria applies to the sharpest ramp curve, usually on the ramp proper. The ramp design speed does not apply to the ramp terminals, which should include transition curves and speed change lanes based on the design speeds of the highways and ramps involved. Desirably, ramp design speed should approximate the off-peak running speeds (50th percentile speeds) on the higher speed intersecting highway, but not exceed 50 mph. Ramps with design speeds over 50 mph should be designed using Section 2.7.1 of this chapter. The minimum design speeds based on ramp type (as illustrated in Exhibit 10-55 of AASHTO’s A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets, 2004) are: 9/3/2013 Loop ramps – 25 mph minimum for highways with design speeds of more than 50 mph. Semidirect connection ramps – 30 mph minimum. Direct connection ramps – 40 mph minimum; 50 mph preferred. Diagonals, outer connections, and one-quadrant ramps - Below is the minimum ramp design speed related to the highway design speed. The highway design speed is the higher design speed of the interchanging roadways. Highway Design Speed (mph) 40 45 50 55 60 70 75 Min.

In general, the least width is selected, with the width increased in curved segments of the ramp. Taper between different widths in accord with HDM Chapter 5. 3 These widths (from AASHTO Green Book 2011 Table 3-29) reflect a combination of separate design vehicles, and will only accommodate two WB-40 design vehicles passing one another. For the rare cases where the design must accommodate WB-67 design vehicles passing one another, use AASHTO Green Book 2011 Table 3-28b to determine the required width. 4 These radii are associated with design speeds lower than the minimum required for interstate ramps in New York State. Retaining these radii on existing interstate ramps requires Non-Standard Feature Justification(s) with a safety and operational analysis of the impact on larger vehicles. New or reconstructed ramps should not use less than a 150 ft radius. 5 The reduced traveled way width included in parenthesis may be used instead if BOTH of the following apply: a) Right and left shoulders are full depth (required for new or reconstructed ramps only) and widths meet or exceed the minimum shoulder widths from Exhibit 2-10. b) The cross slope of traveled way and shoulders is on a single plane, as shown in HDM Figure 35, 3rd section from top, with no rollover. 9/3/2013 §2.7.5.2 DESIGN CRITERIA 2-53b Exhibit 2-9b Traveled Way Widths for Non-Interstate Ramps and Turning Roadways(1) (2) Radius on Inner Edge of Traveled Way, R (ft) 50 75 100 150 200 300 400 500 Tangent (≥1000 ft) No Stabilized Shoulder Sloping Curb Vertical Curb One Side Two Sides Paved Shoulder, one or both sides Traveled Way Width (ft) Case I Case II Case III One-Lane, One-Way One-Lane, One-Way Two-Lane Operation – Operation – no provision Operation – with One-Way or Two-Way for passing a stalled provision for passing a vehicle stalled vehicle Design Traffic Condition (see definitions below) A B C A B C A B C 18 18 23 20 26 30 31 36 45 16 17 20 19 23 27 29 33 38 15 16 18 18 22 25 28 31 35 14 15 17 18 21 23 26 29 32 13 15 16 17 20 22 26 28 30 13 15 15 17 20 22 25 28 29 13 15 15 17 19 21 25 27 28 12 15 15 17 19 21 25 27 28 12 14 14 17 18 20 24 26 26 Width Modification for Edge Conditions None None None None None None Add 1 ft None Add 1 ft Add 2 ft Add 1 ft Add 2 ft Traveled way width for Deduct the combined left Deduct 2 ft where the tangent (R≥1000 ft) may be and right shoulder width, combined left and right reduced to 12 ft where the but the traveled way width shoulder width is 4 ft or combined left and right cannot be less than that wider. 3 shoulder width is 4 ft or required under Case I. wider. Design Traffic Condition Definitions A = Predominantly P vehicles, but some consideration for SU trucks B = Single-Unit (SU) Truck and Semitrailer vehicles comprise 5-10% of traffic volume C = Bus and Semitrailer vehicles comprise over 10% of traffic volume 1 For non-interstate highways designated as Qualifying Highways (see section 2.5.3.2), use Design Traffic Condition C and ensure that the design permits a WB-67 design vehicle to negotiate the non-interstate ramp/turning roadway using the full width of the roadway (traveled way plus shoulders). 2 Values are from AASHTO Green Book 2011 Table 3-29. The traveled way width may vary according to the radius encountered. In general, the least width is selected, with the width increased in curved segments. Taper between different widths in accord with HDM Chapter 5. 3 For example, for R=150 ft, Case II, Condition B and combined left and right shoulder width of 9 ft, the traveled way width required is 21-9=12 ft. However, it cannot be less than that required under Case I so 15 ft is required. §2.7.5.2 9/3/2013 2-94 DESIGN CRITERIA B. Traveled Way Width Determine minimum traveled way width from Exhibits M2-9a or M2-9b, as appropriate. Use Exhibit M2-9a for interstate ramps and Exhibit M2-9b for non-interstate ramps and turning roadways, including non-interstate highways that are designated as Qualifying Highways. C. Shoulder Width Determine minimum shoulder widths from Exhibit M2-10. D. Bridge Roadway Width The lane and shoulder widths are to be carried across all ramp structures. E. Grade Determine maximum from Exhibit M2-10. F. Horizontal Curvature Determine minimum radius from Exhibit M2-10. For curves flatter than the minimum radius, the radius and superelevation on each horizontal curve shall be correlated with the design speed in accordance with the appropriate e max table (Exhibit M2-13 for e max. = 6% or Exhibit M2-14 for e max. = 8%). G. Superelevation 8% maximum. A 6% maximum may be used in urban and suburban areas to minimize the effect of negative side friction during peak periods with low travel speeds. H. Stopping Sight Distance (Horizontal and Vertical) Determine minimum and desirable stopping sight distance from Exhibit M2-10. I. Horizontal Clearance Right side = greater of shoulder width or 1.8 m and left side = 1.0 m minimum. Where ramps pass under structures, there should be an additional 1.2 m clearance beyond the outside of shoulders to bridge piers or abutments.

In general, the least width is selected, with the width increased in curved segments of the ramp. Taper between different widths in accord with HDM Chapter 5. 3 These widths (from AASHTO Green Book 2011 Table 3-29) reflect a combination of separate design vehicles, and will only accommodate two WB-12 design vehicles passing one another. For the rare cases where the design must accommodate WB-20 design vehicles passing one another, use AASHTO Green Book 2011 Table 3-28a to determine the required width. 4 These radii are associated with design speeds lower than the minimum required for interstate ramps in New York State. Retaining these radii or proposing them for new/reconstructed ramps requires Non-Standard Feature Justification(s) with a safety and operational analysis of the impact on larger vehicles. New or reconstructed ramps should not use less than a 50 m radius. 5 The reduced traveled way width included in parenthesis may be used instead if BOTH of the following apply: a) Right and left shoulders are full depth (required for new or reconstructed ramps only) and widths meet or exceed the minimum shoulder widths from Exhibit 2-10. b) The cross slope of traveled way and shoulders is on a single plane, as shown in HDM Figure 35, 3rd section from top, with no rollover. 9/3/2013 'M2.7.5.2 2-97b Exhibit M2-9b Traveled Way Widths for Non-Interstate Ramps and Turning Roadways(1) (2) Radius on Inner Edge of Traveled Way, R (m) 15 25 30 50 75 100 125 150 Tangent (≥300 m) No Stabilized Shoulder Sloping Curb Vertical Curb One Side Two Sides Paved Shoulder, one or both sides Traveled Way Width (m) Case I Case II Case III One-Lane, One-Way One-Lane, One-Way Two-Lane Operation – Operation – no provision Operation – with One-Way or Two-Way for passing a stalled provision for passing a vehicle stalled vehicle Design Traffic Condition (see definitions below) A B C A B C A B C 5.4 5.5 7.0 6.0 7.8 9.2 9.4 11.0 13.6 4.8 5.0 5.8 5.6 6.9 7.9 8.6 9.7 11.1 4.5 4.9 5.5 5.5 6.7 7.6 8.4 9.4 10.6 4.2 4.6 5.0 5.3 6.3 7.0 7.9 8.8 9.5 3.9 4.5 4.8 5.2 6.1 6.7 7.7 8.5 8.9 3.9 4.5 4.8 5.2 5.9 6.5 7.6 8.3 8.7 3.9 4.5 4.8 5.1 5.9 6.4 7.6 8.2 8.5 3.6 4.5 4.5 5.1 5.8 6.4 7.5 8.2 8.4 3.6 4.2 4.2 5.0 5.5 6.1 7.3 7.9 7.9 Width Modification for Edge Conditions None None None None None None Add 0.3 m None Add 0.3 m Add 0.6 m Add 0.3 m Add 0.6 m Traveled way width for Deduct the combined left Deduct 0.6 m where the tangent (R≥300 m) may be and right shoulder width, combined left and right reduced to 3.6 m where the but the traveled way width shoulder width is 1.2 m or combined left and right cannot be less than that wider. 3 shoulder width is 1.2 m or required under Case I. wider.
