WASHINGTON COUNTY ROAD DESIGN ANDCONSTRUCTION STANDARDS

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

These Standards provide engineering design and construction requirements fortransportation and bridge improvements under Washington County's jurisdiction. Theprovisions of these standards and speciflcations are intended to provide a safe and reliabletransportation system and to preserve, protect, and improve the public transportationinfrastru cture .

These Standards are intended to ensure the long-term viability of the transportation systemand avoid unnecessary and excessive maintenance and replacement costs.

These Standards are based on modern design principles as well as practical constructionmethods. They replace the 1998 edition adopted in Ordinance 524, and are intended to beconsistent with the requirements established in lhe Washington County 2020Transpoftation Plan and lhe washington County Community Development Code.

Building a transportation facilily within a built environment is challenging. To achieve asustainable system with livability requires a balance between competing interests.Exceptions must occasionally be made to these standards while maintaining safety andefflciency. Section 220 provides a process for allowing an exception to these standards.

The Washington County Comprehensive Plan, the Community Plans, 2O2O TransportationPlan and the community Development Code provide guidance in the development oflivable communities through which the roadways pass. The road standards specify thetechnical requirements for the design and construction of lhe transportation systemimprovements within road right-of-way. ln concert, these documents provide the balance ofqualities which create aesthetic and livable communities.
