Description

The provision of facilities in the median of highways is often the subject of discussion at the time of planning, design and construction of divided highways in Alberta. The purpose of this Bulletin is to inform designers, planners and other staff and consultants working for Alberta Transportation regarding the department’s position on this subject. There have been cases where median facilities such as Vehicle Inspection Stations have been permitted in the past due to special constraints. As a department policy the construction of new median facilities is not normally permitted.
