A three-dimensional physical location is determinedthrough calculation of a horizontal and vertical alignment ofthe highway centerline, based on a variety of operational considerations.The results of these activities are refe’ed to as thegeometric design and represent all the visible features of a highwayor street. The first and major portion of the paper deals withthe design of motor-vehicle facilities. Specific design elementsare described and discussed with respect to design methodology.}, number={5-6}, journal={Promet - Traffic&Transportation}, author={Baričević, Hrvoje and Domandžić, Dražen}, year={1}, month={1}, pages={273-277} }
