Grade separations across highways
7.6. Grade separations should be provided at intersections of
divided rural highways if the ADT (fast vehicles only) on the
€ross road within the next 5S years exceeds 5000. Where this traffic
figure will be reached within the next 20 years, the need for
such facilities should be kept in View for future construction.
Grade separations across railways
7.7. Grade separations should be provided across existing railway
crossings if the product of ADT (fast vehicles only) and the number
of trains per day exceeds 50,000 within the next 5 years. For new
sonstructions such as byepasses, grade separations should be provi-
ded when this figure is greater than 25,000.IRC:92-2017

When an at-grade intersection fails to cater the volume of traffic resulting in
congestion and frequent blockage at the intersection e.g.. when total traffic
of all the arms of Intersection exceeds 10,000 PCU per hour.

control or improvement measures.

64 Road Cross-Section
The ramp may be for one-way or two-way operation. The two-way, divided type of cross-section
should be used with a minimum median width of 1.2 m. The approach width of pavement to
be provided for each way will depend on the design hour traffic volume expected to use the
ramp. The base capacity and recommended design service volume of urban road sections
are given in Table 6.3. The minimum width of shoulders should be 2 m of which at least
1 m should be paved. The shoulders should be properly delineated by means of pavement
markings. The road markings may be provided as per the guidelines given in IRC!35 "Code
of Practice for Road Markings”
