    Pivot Table Tutorial

    We have a condition where we have dual left turn lanes going into the intersection and am looking for guidance on when to begin to taper the two lanes into one lane. We looked through our state's design guide and also AASHTO design guide and did not find any guidance. One initial thought was...

    Non-Conventional Concrete Barrier

    Has anyone used any non-conventional barrier such as sand/water filled? I found the Triton Barrier TL-3 water filled that are crashworthy. Are they cheaper? What is the life span? Thanks

    Dedicated Left Turn Lanes

    This might seem like a bizarre question. When one analyze/compare volumes of a single left dedicated turn lane with dual left turn lanes, do you consider a friction factor that is caused when people take the turn at the same time? Initially you would think that increasing one lane to two...

    Median Crossovers

    We are designing a crossover. Shifting traffic across a 13' median. The diagram we reference is TA-39 from MUTCD. HOwever, in our experience, we feel the the diagram is ambiguous and agressive. However, we are just wondering what others think and use. One additional comment is note 2 in MUTCD...

    Truck Lane Warrant software

    Does anyone know of any software for Truck Lane warrants? We have a graph made in the fifties from the MeDOT. It is just very laborious, subjective and obsolete at times.

I am looking for comments from users of both software.<br> <br> We plan to use it strictly for Roadway Design (mostly freeways)<br> <br> We are currently S8 Users, so I guess it only gets better.<br> <br> Some areas that we would like...

    I am looking to replace Cable Guardrail Along a local roadway that is adjacent to the bridge with Aluminum Rail as this state does not accept Cable Guardrail as acceptable.<br> <br> We do not plan to replace miles and miles of this so we are looking for a viable solution to transition the cable...
