Action
Final rule.
Summary
The FHWA revises its policy on the design standards that apply to highway construction and reconstruction projects on the National Highway System (NHS). The previous standards were the 1994 version of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials' (AASHTO) publication, "A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets." A 2001 revision of this publication has replaced the 1994 version and FHWA adopts this new version as its policy on design standards for highway construction and reconstruction projects on the NHS.
