Abstract

The new AASHTO design policy for highways and streets (Green Book) includes new and revised concepts on geometric design that reflect changes in design philosohpy, design vehicles, roadside safety features, and driver behavior. Those concepts and how they affect highway tort liability are addressed. The consequences of design flexibility and functional roadway classification are presented; the implications of design consistency and driver expectancy are also discussed.
