GUIDE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF BICYCLE
FACILITIES, 4TH EDITION
This guide provides
information on how to
accommodate bicycle travel
and operations in most riding
environments. It is intended
to present sound guidelines
that result in facilities that
meet the needs of bicyclists
and other highway users.
Sufficient flexibility is
permitted to encourage designs that are sensitive to local
context and incorporate the needs of bicyclists, pedestrians
and motorists. However, in some sections of this guide,
suggested minimum dimensions are provided. These
are recommended only where further deviation from
desirable values could increase crash frequency or severity.
This guide has been updated from the previous guide
published in 1999. The fact that new guidance is presented
herein does not imply that existing bicycle facilities are
inadequate or unsafe, nor does it mandate the initiation of
improvement projects. The intent of this document is to
provide guidance to designers and planners by referencing
a recommended range of design values and describing
alternative design approaches. 200 pp.

AASHTO GUIDE MANUAL FOR BRIDGE ELEMENT
INSPECTION, 1ST EDITION
The Bridge Element
Inspection Manual builds on
the element level condition
assessment methods
developed in the AASHTO
Guide for Commonly
Recognized Structural
Elements. Improvements
have been made to fully
capture the condition of the
elements by reconfiguring
the element language to utilize multiple distress paths
within the defined condition states. The multi-path distress
language provides the means to fully incorporate all
possible defects within the overall condition assessment
of the element. The overall condition of an element can
be utilized in this aggregate form, or broken down into
specific defects present as desired by the agency for Bridge
Management System (BMS) use. The Bridge Element
Inspection Manual provides a comprehensive set of bridge
elements that is designed to be flexible in nature to satisfy
the needs of all agencies. The complete set of elements
capture the components necessary for an agency to
manage all aspects of the bridge inventory utilizing the full
capability of a BMS. 2011. 172 pp.

CHAPTER 11, ERECTING MAILBOXES ON STREETS AND HIGHWAYS,
ROADSIDE DESIGN GUIDE, 4TH EDITION
Chapter 11 of the AASHTO Roadside Design Guide deals with privately
owned mailboxes, mailbox supports, and mailbox turnout designs. Highway
safety is the primary reason for a transportation agency to become involved
in this type of design. Limited data exist for vehicle-mailbox collisions
because most record systems do not specifically isolate these types of crashes.
However, the Fatality Analysis Reporting System showed 294 deaths in 2008
in which an impact with a mailbox was the first harmful event. Although
this number includes crashes in which the mailbox may not have been the
direct cause of the fatal injuries, it is significant because it is associated with
an unnecessary hazard. Because many jurisdictions incorporate this chapter
by reference into their mailbox regulations, the information in this chapter
is frequently of interest to non-engineers and private citizens. Consequently,
AASHTO makes this chapter available for purchase separate from the rest
of the AASHTO Roadside Design Guide at a reduced price. Its content is
identical to that found in the full book.

GUIDELINES FOR GEOMETRIC DESIGN
OF VERY LOW-VOLUME LOCAL ROADS
(ADT 400), 1ST EDITION
These guidelines address the unique design issues
highway designers and engineers face when determining
appropriate cost-effective geometric design policies for
very low-volume local roads. This approach covers both
new and existing construction projects. Because geometric
design guidance for very low-volume local roads differs
from the policies applied to high-volume roads, these
guidelines may be used in lieu of A Policy on Geometric
Design of Highways and Streets, also known as The
Green Book. Design values are presented in both metric
and U.S. customary units. 2001. 94 pp.

A GUIDE FOR ACHIEVING
FLEXIBILITY IN HIGHWAY
DESIGN, 1ST EDITION
Context-sensitive solutions
(CSS) reflect the need to consider highway projects
as more than just transportation facilities. Achieving
a flexible, context-sensitive design solution requires
designers to fully understand the reasons behind the
processes, design values, and design procedures that
are used. This guide shows highway designers how to
think flexibly, how to recognize the many choices and

PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE DESIGN
GUIDE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF BICYCLE FACILITIES, 4TH EDITION
This guide provides information on how to accommodate bicycle travel and operations in most riding
environments. It is intended to present sound guidelines that result in facilities that meet the needs of bicyclists and
other highway users. Sufficient flexibility is permitted to encourage designs that are sensitive to local context and incorporate
the needs of bicyclists, pedestrians and motorists. However, in some sections of this guide, suggested minimum dimensions are
provided. These are recommended only where further deviation from desirable values could increase crash frequency or severity.
This guide has been updated from the previous guide published in 1999. The fact that new guidance is presented herein does not
imply that existing bicycle facilities are inadequate or unsafe, nor does it mandate the initiation of improvement projects. The
intent of this document is to provide guidance to designers and planners by referencing a recommended range of design values
and describing alternative design approaches. 2012. 200 pp.

behavior. Due to other differences in the physical and
mechanical behavior of GFRP materials as opposed to
steel, unique guidance on the engineering and
construction of concrete bridge decks reinforced with
GFRP bars is needed. These guide specifications offer a
description of the unique material properties of GFRP
composite materials as well as provisions for the design
and construction of concrete bridge decks and railings
reinforced with GFRP reinforcing bars. 2009. 68 pp.

GUIDE SPECIFICATIONS FOR LRFD SEISMIC BRIDGE DESIGN,
2ND EDITION, WITH 2012 INTERIM REVISIONS
Covers seismic design for typical
bridge types and applies to non-critical and non-essential
bridges. Approved as an alternate to the seismic provisions
in the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications. Differs
from the current procedures in the LRFD Specifications
in the use of displacement-based design procedures,
instead of the traditional force-based R-Factor method.
Includes detailed guidance and commentary on earthquake
resisting elements and systems, global design strategies,
demand modeling, capacity calculation, and liquefaction
effects. Capacity design procedures underpin the Guide
Specifications methodology; includes prescriptive detailing
for plastic hinging regions and design requirements for
capacity protection of those elements that should not
experience damage. 2011. 284 pp.
