reaci�ed anly i f t�►e guard fence is less a d�nger than tlie
hazard it would prot�ct, or if thc cast of vtherwise safety
treating tl�e haz��rd is prohibitive.
c� Use of highcr thai� minimum design se�ndards result in a
driver environment whicli is Eltl�damentslly safer because it
is more likely to compcnsate far driver e.rrors. �'rcquently,
a more liberal dcsign, i��cluding sight distgnces g,rcater
tktian minimum, f1aCC80Cd slopes, etc. � eosts titt}.e mor� over
[hc: life of a project and increases its saf�:ty and use�-
ful.tzess substant ially.
d. Far improved safety p�rformance, highway g�ometry and
traffic canrrol clevice� should merely co��firm drivers '
ex�ecc��tion�. U�lexpected situ:�tions, such �s left side
r�mps on Freeways, sharp t�orizontal curvstura introduced
within a series of flat curves , etc. , have c�etnpnstruted
zdvNrs� effe.cts oTi trafEic operations and safety.
Thesc� principles have been incorporated as apprnpriate into tl�c�
desiqn standards inrluded t�erein. It is the responsibility of
the designer that t��ese principles be care.futly examined Eor
their applicability at each p3rticular s'tte based on itsl
particular circumsta��ces , in�Iuding the aspects of social
impact , environrnental impact , e�onomy, and safety.
