Questionnaire

To: Afghan Transportation Engineering Center,(ATEC).

From: Muhammad din Mominzai, Transportation Engineering Student. (Researcher and Surveyor)
Subject: Road Design Practice In Kabul.

by guidance of instructor and importance of transport sector, it was undertaken by me to ascertain and flagrant the
current roads design practice and situation in Kabul, till achieve the safe and acceptable roadway design standard. so
for this case I selected the seminar by the title of, comparison of design criteria for urban streets versus rural roads.
As part of my seminar, I would like to determine what existing standard are being used, as well as concerns I may
have about major obstacle to forbid you from its accommodation, and your alternative about those.

Your input will be very valuable as I pursue this process. Please complete the questionnaire at your earliest
