4.1.1 Location
- Roads are traffic arteries outside of built-up areas.
- Streets are traffic arteries within built-up areas.
4.1.2 Function
a) Major streets or primary roads
The function of these roads or main traffic arteries is to serve or connect the
main functional areas of a petroleum installation.
They are capable of carrying the largest volume of traffic and the heaviest types
of vehicles anticipated.
b) Secondary streets or secondary roads
These streets or roads supplement the main system by providing access within
each functional area. Secondary streets and roads are capable of carrying a
moderate volume of medium-weight traffic with the occasional passage of
maximum weight vehicles.
c) Lesser streets or tertiary roads
These streets and roads provide for traffic to individual buildings or groups of
buildings or patrolling road within functional areas.
They are capable of carrying a moderate volume of light-weight traffic.
5. PRELIMINARY CONSIDERATIONS
Before designing roads and streets of any classification the following factors should be
considered.
5
JULY, 2005 NIOEC-SP-10-06(0)
6. DESIGN SPEED
For general information on design speeds, the following preliminary factors should be
considered:
a) Streets
A maximum speed of 50 km/h shall be considered as the design speed for all major
and secondary streets, even when the posted speed will be considerably less.
b) Roads
A maximum speed of 80 km/h shall be considered as the design speed for all major
and secondary roads, even when the posted speed will be considerably less.
7. DESIGN VEHICLES
Two general classes of vehicles have been selected, namely, passenger cars and trucks. The
passenger car class includes compacts and subcompacts plus all light vehicles and light
delivery trucks (vans and pickups). The truck class includes single-unit trucks, buses, truck
tractor-semitrailer combinations, and trucks or truck tractors with semitrailers in combination
with full trailers.
The dimensions for two design vehicles representing vehicles within these general classes are
given in Table 1. In the design of any highway facility the largest design vehicle likely to use
that facility with considerable frequency or a design vehicle with special characteristics that
must be taken into account in dimensioning the facility is used to determine the design of such
critical features as radii at intersections and radii of turning roadways.

9.4 Drainage
Drainage channels perform the vital function of collecting and conveying surface water from
the road right-of-way. Drainage channels, therefore, should have adequate capacity for the
design run-off; should provide for unusual storm water with minimum damage to the road,
and should be located and sloped to avoid creating a hazard to traffic.
Where the topography of region permits roadside channels built in earth should have side
slopes of 4:1 (horizontal to vertical) or flatter, having a rounded bottom with minimum width
of 1.2 m.
Rounded slopes of side and ditch bottoms of channels reduce the chance of an errant vehicle
becoming airborne, thereby increasing the safety of channels. When saturation of the
subgrade is limited, the minimum grade for unpaved channels should be about 0.5 percent. In
areas with steep channels, they should be lined.
9.5 Side Slopes
In general, side slopes shall be as flat as possible and rounded to the practicable extent within
grading limits.
9.5.1 Design
Side slopes shall be 4:1 or flatter where feasible and not steeper than 2:1, except in rock
excavation or other special conditions.
Effective erosion control, low cost maintenance, and adequate drainage of the subgrade
largely are dependent on proper shaping of the side slopes. Table 12 shows what kind
of slopes are used as a general basis for design of earth side slopes.

10.1 Lighting
Wherever specified by AR* provide roadside lighting at the following critical areas:
- Channelized road intersection and interchanges.
- Pedestrian cross walks.
- Long bridges.
* AR = Authorized Representative of the Owner.
- Tunnels and bridges of substantial length.
- Areas with roadside interference.
- Railroad crossings.
- Built-up areas.

10.5 Guardrails
For use of guardrails see AASHTO’s "A Policy on Geometric Design of Rural Highways".
11. SIDEWALKS
Justification of sidewalks in rural areas depends upon the volume of pedestrian and vehicular
traffic, their relative timing, and the speed of vehicular traffic.
Sidewalks are accepted as integral part of streets, but few are provided in roads.
Sidewalks shall be laid parallel to streets and as walkways to building entrances, and shall be
provided in accordance with operational and/or pedestrian traffic requirements. Walkways
adjacent to and between buildings, and other facilities in built-up areas, generally are
accepted as integral parts of these areas.
a) Walkways
Walkways along roads in open areas, between certain isolated locations, can be as
necessary as in built-up areas. The need for walkways should be determined in
accordance with the criteria shown in Table 13
b) Location of sidewalks
Sidewalks shall be set 1.5 m or more back from curb lines, except at parking and
unloading areas. For those areas, sidewalks shall be placed adjacent to the curb, and
widened as necessary to satisfy operational requirements.
c) Cross slope
Allow 2 percent in the direction of natural drainage.
d) Widths
Allow 0.60 m for each pedestrian traffic lane, with a minimum walk width of 1.2 m.
Actual width of walks shall be determined as shown in Table 14.

c) Before placing the surface course a tack coat of Cutback Asphalt shall be applied on
the binder course over the full area to be paved. If, however, the existing surface is
free from dirt and presents a uniform appearance, approval may be obtained to
eliminate the tack coat.
d) The paving courses shall not be applied until the prime or tack coat is dry and will
not “pick up” under traffic. In an event a course is opening to traffic during or after
compaction and has received a coating of mud prior to priming operations, all such
material shall be removed by sweeping and/or blowing, or such other means as may
be necessary to restore the course to an acceptable condition for primary.
e) The bituminous mixture and materials shall not be applied on a wet base, nor when
the weather is foggy or rainy. Application shall not be made when the temperature in
the shade is below 5°C and descending. Approval for scheduling the paving
operations must be obtained from the Employer.
f) Spreading and Finishing: Upon arrival at the point of use, the mixture shall be spread
and struck-off to the profile grade, elevation and cross-section indicated on the plans

be laid to give the proper cross-section, and the spreading machine shall be capable
of placing the weight per square meter of surfacing material required.
g) Compaction: The mixture, as soon after it is spread as it will bear the roller without
under displacement or hair cracking, shall be rolled in two stages, first with a 6 ton
roller and then with a 10 ton roller to a finished thickness of not less than 10
centimeters. The period clasped between two rolling shall be between 0 to 4 hours
depending to site temperature at the time of placement;
Roller wheels shall be equipped with scraping and sprinkling devices and shall be
kept properly moistened without excess oil or water. Rolling shall start at the sides
and proceed toward the center. Each trip of the roller shall overlap the previous trip
by at least 30 cm. Alternate trips of the roller shall be of slightly different lengths.
The speed of the roller shall not exceed 5 kilometers per hour. Rolling shall be
continued until no impression is made thereby on the surface. Mechanical tampers
shall be used for compacting in locations inaccessible to the roller.
i) Forms: The use of forms will not be required. However, the edges of the pavement
shall be accurately aligned by the use of string or wire lines or any other suitable
approved method.

a) The surface course shall be tested by a crown template and by 1 meter and 3 meter
straight edges applied at right angles and parallel, respectively, to the center line of
the roadbed. The variation of the surface from the testing edge of the crown template
between any two points of contact shall not exceed 9 millimeters. The variation of
the surface from the testing edges of the straightedges between any two points of
contact shall not exceed 9 millimeters for the 3 meter straightedge or 6 millimeters
for the 1 meter straightedge.
b) Tests for conformity with the specified crown and grade shall be made immediately
after initial compression, and all variations shall be corrected by removing or adding
materials where necessary. Rolling shall then be continued as specified.
c) After final rolling and prior to completion of the work, the smoothness of the course
shall be checked again, and the surface corrected to the required tolerances as may be
required.
12.3.7 Inspection

for the purpose of inspecting the work. Or for the purpose of installing collateral
work without interfering with the work under contract.
b) The employer, or his auuthorzed representative, will inspect the work performed
under this specification. The Contractor shall furnish all reasonable aid and
assistance required by the inspector for the proper examination of the work.
It is the Contractor responsibility to inspect the placing of fills and asphalt base and test
completed layers, determining the actual qualities and densities attained by appropriate
specified test and / or by extraction of undisturbed samples from the completed fill or
asphalted layer. The results of the test obtained by the Employer and / or the Testing
Agency shall be the basis upon which the satisfactory completion of the compaction is
judged. The Employer has the right to inspect the testing procedure at all times.
