    Geometric Design of Urban and Rural Roads

    08-09-2025 To 12-09-2025
    Dubai
    civil eng and construction

    Geometric design is a critical component of road engineering that directly impacts traffic flow, safety, comfort, and long-term performance. This course focuses on the principles, parameters, and standards used in the geometric design of urban streets and rural highways, covering topics such as alignment, cross-sections, intersections, visibility, and access control. Participants will gain the technical know-how to design roadways that meet engineering, environmental, and user needs, supported by real-world case studies and design exercises.
