Assessing and Mitigating Transportation Noise and Vibration

This project will review current Canadian practices, costing tools, decision-making criteria, performance criteria and mitigation approaches, and suggest best practices for noise and vibration assessment and mitigation.

Cross Section Elements

This synthesis of practice is the first stage in developing a new Chapter 4—Cross Section Elements in TAC’s Geometric Design Guide for Canadian Roads. It will address design procedures and domains related to lane widths, special purpose lanes, shoulders, medians, outer separations and boulevards, curb and gutter and drainage. It will present typical cross sections and considerations around bridges, utility placement, snow storage and future widenings.
