This guide was built to close that exact gap. One steady path, section by section, from stationing a horizontal curve through vertical alignment, intersection sight distance, signal timing, capacity analysis, and pavement structure, aligned to the exam's core knowledge areas and the design standards actually tested.
Inside, you'll find:
✓ A clear, ground-up build of horizontal and vertical alignment, worked station by station
✓ Every major sight distance case explained with full, real-number calculations
✓ Superelevation, signal timing, and intersection design, side by side, no gaps between them
✓ Complete capacity analysis, safety, and pavement design walkthroughs, from Level of Service to structural number
✓ A full 80-question practice exam, answer-keyed back to the exact section that taught it, so every missed question becomes a specific page to revisit, not a guessing game
Written in plain, patient language, for engineers who want to actually understand the road this time, not memorize their way past it.
