Abstract:In order to facilitate the road designers to clarify the difference between highway and urban road in plane design, the design parameters of plane alignment in the Code for Design of Highway Route and the Code for Design of Urban Road Route are compared and analyzed. Through comparison, it can be seen that the design parameters of highway specifications and road specifications have the same calculation formula in the calculation, but some variables have different values. The reason for the different values of variables is that the focus on highway and urban road is different during the construction. Highway specifications focus more on safety, smoothness and economy, while urban road specifications focus more on comfort, safety and environmental coordination. Therefore, the designers shall take the value according to the road type and key points when calculating.
