Low Volume Roads

Course No. T-8001

Credit: 8 PDH

Course Fee: $214.95 Purchase course

Subject Matter Expert: Vincent D. Reynolds, M.B.A., P.E.

 

Overview

Low-volume roads are essentially those roads that are used in rural areas and do not have high design speeds or high volumes of traffic. By definition low-volume roads have an average daily traffic (ADT) of less than 400 vehicles per day, and usually have design speeds of less than 50 mph. Low-volume roads are used for farm-to-market travel, access roads, logging operations and for access to rural communities.

This guide will help engineers, and planners to design efficient and safe low-volume roads. There are various aspects of low-volume roads that differ from traditional or high volume roadways. Some of those differences are roadway cross sections, roadway surfacing, drainage appurtenances, and low-water crossings, among others. This course will focus on those aforementioned aspects of low-volume road design.

After reading this 8 hour course the student will have valuable information that can be used to effectively design, and construct low-volume roads.

The course materials are based solely on the materials “Low-Volume Roads Engineering” as published on the website of the Research and Innovative Technology Administration of the United States Department of Transportation. A multiple-choice quiz is included at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of course materials.

The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of forty (40) questions at the end of the course to earn PDH credits.
