This is a live, repeat presentation of a webinar that was originally offered on 05/12/2022. Attendees of the previously offered presentation, RV-W051222, will not receive CEU for attending the 08/08/2022 presentation.

For many years the design of highways and streets had been left mostly to the “professionals” with a single focus on engineering considerations, and the single objective of providing the highest quality service at the lowest construction cost. However, in the last decade, it has become evident that a sole focus on cost and vehicular quality of service is not enough for our public right of ways, which serve many more purposes than just motor vehicle travel. Context Based Design, recognizes that a road or highway, by the way it is integrated within the community, has far-reaching impacts beyond just vehicular traffic. In this course, practitioners within the A/E/C industry will learn that Context Based Design addresses safety, mobility, and the preservation of scenic, aesthetic, historical, environmental, and other elements valued by the community, which is served by the specific roadway or highway.

Note: This is a live webinar delivered via GoToWebinar. Session instructions will be emailed to you 24-48 hours prior to the webinar and the morning of the webinar. If you have not received your instructions for any reason please call Client Support (1-866-546-1212) the day of the event. Webinars are live and interactive.

Course Objectives

Given a functional highway classification, identify at least two primary characteristics that will govern the roadway design in order to preserve the health, safety and welfare of the public.
Based on surrounding land and property uses, identify one of the eight context classifications used for highway design.
Describe the design years used for different types of roadway projects, in order to maintain a favorable benefit-cost ratio.
Identify at least three elements of a complete street that focus on the safety and welfare of the public.
Using the functional and context classification of a roadway corridor, identify the applicable design speed to assure an equitable and safe design for the community.
