Aligning Geometric Design with Roadway Context

The objective of this research is to draft Part IV (Facility Design in Context) of the proposed eighth edition of the Green Book (GB8), using a consistent structure for the context chapters and drawing content from the Green Book and research-based sources. This material should be suitable for direct use in a future project to develop the GB8, although the development of Parts I-III may prompt changes.
