1.1 Terrain Classification and Right-of-Way (ROW)
It is observed that the cross slope of the ground is less than 10% thus project road passes
through Plain terrain. The terrain is classified by the general slope of the country across
the road alignment. For which criteria given in table 1, IRC: 73-1980 is followed.
The provision of right-of-way width necessitates accommodating the road construction,
adequate drainage provisions, and any other important part of the overall design. Wide
rights-of-way permit the road construction with gentle slopes, resulting in greater safety
for the motorist and provide for easier maintenance. The acquisition of sufficient right-
of-way, at the time of initial construction, permits subsequent widening of the roadway
and the widening and strengthening of the pavement at a reasonable cost as traffic
volumes increase. However, the right-of- way width should not be less than that needed
for all elements of the design cross section and utility accommodation etc.
The details of Typical Cross Sections are shown in in the end of this chapter.
