AASHTO VLVLR-2, Guidelines for Geometric Design of Low-Volume Roads, Second Edition (2019), addresses geometric design for roads that carry light traffic, where criteria written for higher-volume facilities may be out of proportion to the traffic served. The guidance is presented in five chapters that establish the framework for low-volume road design and then treat the geometric elements that follow from it. Both new construction and work on existing roads are within scope, so an agency can apply the guidelines to reconstruction and improvement projects as well as to new alignments. Design decisions can be matched to traffic volume, terrain, and available funding rather than to fixed values developed for major highways. The result is a cost-effective geometric policy suited to local roads. The guidelines are intended for highway designers and engineers in state and local agencies who set geometric design policy for low-volume roads.
