Highway Plans Describe:
WHAT to build and WHERE to build.
Standard Specifications

Parcels
a land area needed for construction, or other purposes.
Bench Mark
a permanent point (monument) of known elevation.
Plan View
a view from directly above the object, looking down on the object.
Cross- Section View
a view showing the inside of an object as though a piece of the object has been sliced away.
Special Provisions
additions and revisions to the standard and supplemental specifications covering conditions applicable to the project.

Specifications
the compilation of provisions and requirements for the performance of prescribed work.
Ratio (Example= 4:1 )
the first number is always the level length, and the next number is the rise.
Length (L)
the length of a curve from the P.C. to the P.T.
Point of Tangency (P.T.)
the point where the curved segment of the highway ends, and a new tangent segment begins.
Point of intersection (P.I)
the point where the extension lines of the tangent segments meet or intersect.
Point of Curvature (P.C.)
the point where the tangent (or straight) segment of the highway begins to curve.
Grade
the slope of a land segment.
T
the tangent distance from the P.C. to the P.I. or the P.I. to the P.T. Both distances are the same.
Vertical Curves Occur In 2 Instances:
when the proposed highway goes over a hilltop (crest) or when it travels down into a valley (sag).
