  14. Arterial Development and Management System Alternative’s cross section

  15. Design criteria For a design speed of 45 mph and urban arterial highway : Super elevation (e)=6% Friction factor (f) =0.145

  16. The center line of the Arterial System

  17. The plan of the Arterial System

  18. Underpass (Tunnel) Alternative Building a tunnel was the second alternative to solve the streets’ problems. The Tunnel was for through traffic only This will separates the through traffic completely from the local traffic and doesn’t affect the traffic on the original street over the tunnel.
