Prepare for Highway Engineering exams with this comprehensive study resource covering essential concepts in highway planning, road design, speed management, road capacity, access control, and traffic operations. The material reviews planning considerations for expressways and national roads, including frontage access, development setbacks, grade-separated and at-grade intersections, access via provincial roads, intersection minimization, roadside parking, stopping provisions, and restrictions on roadside vendors. It also covers factors influencing design speed, including road function, anticipated operating speed, speed limits, and economics, together with highway and urban speed-limit scenarios for passenger cars, motorcycles, trucks, and buses. Additional topics include pedestrian-risk areas, roads without footpaths, duplicated carriageways, expressways, speed-zone signage and repeater spacing, lower- and higher-standard expressways, and the definition and measurement of road capacity. Key capacity factors include number of lanes, lane and shoulder width, terrain and gradients, traffic composition, side friction, pedestrians, road furniture, intersections, traffic signal phasing, and priority of movements. Ideal for civil engineering, transportation engineering, highway design, traffic engineering, and road infrastructure students preparing for exams and coursework. Updated for 2026/2027 and available as an instant download for convenient study.

,a. Municipal Planning and Development Office (MPDO)
b.City Planning Development Office (CPDO)
c. Provincial Planning Development Office (PPDO)


What office is responsible for zoning of their respective jurisdictions and final land use
and zoning planes to be submitted to HLURB (Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board)
for approval?



I. No frontage access
II. Development set well back from the highway
III. Grade separated intersections for extremely high flows and other
intersecting expressways
IV. Number of intersections to be minimized
V.Where necessary or for emergency purposes, parking/stopping to be provided clear of
the main carriageway.


The following elements are to be considered when planning Expressways:



I. Limited frontage access
II. Development set well back from the highway
III. All access to premises provided via provincial roads
IV. Number of intersections to be minimized
V.Suitable at-grade channelized intersections for minor flows and other elements
VI. No roadside vendors


The elements to consider when planning National Roads are:

, I. Function of the road
II. Anticipated operating speed
III. Anticipated speed limit
IV. Economics


When choosing a design speed for a road project, the following factors need to be
considered:



80 kph


On open country roads with no "blind corners" not closely bordered by habitation, the
maximum speed for passenger cars and motorcycles is:


50 kph


On open country roads with no "blind corners" not closely bordered by habitation, the
maximum speed for motor trucks and buses is:


40 kph


On "through streets" or boulevards clear of traffic, with no "blind corners" when so
designated, the maximum speed for passenger cars and motorcycles is:


30 kph


On "through streets" or boulevards clear of traffic, with no "blind corners" when so
designated, the maximum speed for trucks and buses is:


30 kph


On city and municipal streets, with light traffic, when not designated "through streets", the
maximum speed for passenger cars, motorcycles, motor trucks and buses is:
