Abstract

This Pavement Design Guideline for Low Volume Rural Roads (LVRRs) applies to Tertiary Roads and minor Secondary Roads in Afghanistan. The main purpose of the Guideline is to provide all practitioners with comprehensive guidance on the wide range of factors that need to be addressed in a holistic and environmentally sustainable manner when planning and designing unpaved roads or undertaking their upgrading to a paved standard. It retains those aspects of the existing MRRD documents that are relevant to LVRRs and addresses the gaps that have been identified from their evaluation to produce a new self-standing Guideline that will replace the current guidelines.

This work is part of the Applied Research on Rural Roads and Transport Services through Community Access Programmes in Africa and Asia (AFCAP2 and AsCAP)
