Local Streets and Roads

The regulated construction standards for streets and roadways are designed to create long-lasting pavements that require little maintenance. When designing under these standards, the following factors are heavily considered:

  • Street Classification and Traffic
  • Geometric Design
  • Subgrades and Subbases
  • Concrete Quality
  • Thickness Design
  • Jointing
  • Construction Specifications

Several ACPA publications also discuss the details of subgrades and subbases, jointing practices, and specifications in much greater detail:
