N.J. Admin. Code § 16:47-4.31

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 21, November 4, 2024

Section 16:47-4.31 - Design standards

(a) For improvements made to all State highways, except interstate highways, Department design standards shall apply. These standards are set forth in the American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO) publication "A Policy on Geometric Design of Highway and Streets," incorporated herein by reference, and the "New Jersey Department of Transportation Design Manual--Roadway" and the "New Jersey Department of Transportation Design Manual--Bridges and Structures". In the case of a discrepancy, the Department manual will govern over the AASHTO publication.

(b) For interstate highways, the design standards are defined in the AASHTO publication "A Policy on Design Standards Interstate System," incorporated herein by reference. All new highway improvements shall conform to these standards. However, if it proves to be infeasible to do so, the highway improvements shall be designed to the interstate standards that were in effect at the time of the original interstate construction.
