Design of Cross-Section on Roads Through Built-Up Areas

Design of Cross-Section on Roads Through Built-Up Areas

The research into the use of less costly modifications of road links and networks, and changes in the service of road surroundings aimed at ensuring an improvement of through traffic performance in suburban areas, and on roads passing through built-up areas as small localities, with application of s...
