Description
This Bulletin is issued to provide guidance to planners and designers regarding the spacing, placement, signing and geometric details of median crossovers on rural divided highways in Alberta. There is a need to consider roadside safety, highway operations, access management, access by emergency and law enforcement vehicles and cost when designing median crossovers on divided highways. Between interchanges and/or at-grade intersections, emergency crossovers should normally be spaced at between 5 and 6.5 km intervals. Exceptions may be made where necessary for access however these additional crossovers should be considered temporary and subject to removal when alternate access is provided.
