Road Description Jenin-Tubas Highway is a major road that connects
the northern districts of Jenin and Tubas, with a length
about 16 km.
The highway starts from Jenin City at Jannat Park Intersection, Al-Kfair Village, Aqqaba Village
and ending at the north of Tubas City.
The following Google Earth picture describes the study
case of the highway.

Introduction
Objectives
1. Geometric design using the AASHTO standards:
a. Horizontal alignment
b. Vertical alignment
c. Cross sections
2. Providing the design details.
3. Capacity analysis and determining the number of lanes.
4. Pavement design.
5. Traffic singing and marking using local standards.
6. Bill of quantities

Design control and criteria
Functional classification
A Rural principal Arterial Highway.
Design Vehicle
WB-15 is chosen to be the design vehicle.
Design Speed
Design speed is between 65 to 110 km/hr
So, the design speed is chosen to be 80 Km/hr

Design control and criteria
Level of Service
The appropriate LOS is C
LOS check The result LOS
Decision
Two Lanes D Not Acceptable
Four Lanes
B AcceptableTherefore, the recommendation is four-lane highway, two lanes in each direction.

Highway Geometric
Design Criteria for Horizontal Curves Super elevation It is assumed to be 10 % Radius As design speed equal 80 km/hr the
superelevation equal 10% Rmin = 210 m. Design Criteria for Vertical Curves Terrain the terrain is mountainous. Grade
max. grade = 7 %.

The cross section elements are designed based on AASHTO recommendations:
1.Lanes : 3.6 m for each2.Shoulder: 3 m for each3.Median: 2 m4.Cross slopes: 2% (for traveled lanes) and 4%
