Alignment surveys (studies) will be conducted for identifying,influence of each factor in the achievement of objectives.

Note- In case of hilly roads/ghat roads any special consideration present will be looked into.

Factors Affecting Highway Alignment

1. Obligating Points
   
   Obstruction on the way of alignment.

   1. Passing type
      ​​​​​​​

   2. Non-passing type

2. River bend
   Bridge should not be located at a curved bend of the river.
   

3. Series of group of hills
   Alignment will pass with the help of tunnels/ghats of roads or roads can be passed by side of hills.
   

4. Railway track
   Rail tracks cannot be made without avoiding safety of road vehicles for places that are a rushy flyover. It must be a recommendation to avoid accidents and delay in transport.
   

• NOTE:

  • An (underpass/overpass) or (underbridge/overbridge) will be provided as we know rail crossing (level crossing).

  • If daily accumulated traffic due to gate closure > 50,000 ton/day.

  • If road rail crossing is within shunting limits of the station.

  • SHUNTING limits are the time limits of a station where trains are stopped for a long period of time.
