Smart Roads, Smooth Paths: Our Deep Dive into Horizontal Transportation Design

Why Take Horizontal Transportation Design Seriously

When we started studying horizontal transportation design, one thing became clear fast: roads fail when design ignores people. At Fluxiss, we’ve seen projects look perfect on paper but struggle on site because alignment, pavement layers, or pedestrian access were not planned right.

At Fluxiss, we focus on civil transportation engineering that works on the ground — not just inside software. Our transportation engineering services follow U.S., UK, and international standards while staying practical for cities like New York, Los Angeles, London, Manchester, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Berlin.

What Horizontal Transportation Design Means at Fluxiss

Roadway and Pavement Design That Handles Real Traffic

When we design roads, we think about traffic flow, safety, and maintenance — not just geometry.

Our roadway design services include:

  • Road alignment design using AASHTO Green Book principles
  • Geometric road design for curves, intersections, and highway geometry
  • Urban road design and municipal road design
  • Traffic corridor design for smooth movement
  • Access road design for residential and industrial sites

We follow AASHTO Green Book standards for horizontal alignment, sight distance, and superelevation.

Pavement Design Services That Last

Pavement failure usually starts below the surface. We’ve learned this the hard way.

Our pavement design services focus on:

  • Asphalt pavement design
  • Concrete pavement design
  • Parking lot design & parking area design
  • Road section design with proper pavement layers
  • Pavement thickness design based on traffic load analysis
We use the AASHTO Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) to select materials and thickness that match real traffic volumes and climate.

Intersection & Traffic Control Design

Bad intersections slow cities down. Good ones save time and lives.

Our intersection design services include:

  • Signalized and unsignalized intersection layouts
  • Roundabout planning
  • MUTCD-compliant signage and markings
  • Traffic safety design and corridor optimization

We design based on MUTCD, Highway Capacity Manual (HCM), and Highway Safety Manual (HSM).

Sidewalk & Pedestrian Design That Meets ADA Standards

We’ve walked streets where sidewalks simply stop. That’s bad design.

Our pedestrian walkway design and sidewalk design focus on:

  • ADA-compliant design
  • Pedestrian path planning
  • Trail design services and walking paths
  • Accessibility standards for curb ramps and crossings
  • Public access design for all users

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

The design of the roadways in the USA is supported by the AASHTO Green Book geometry, MUTCD traffic control, MEPDG pavement design, and HCM/HSM traffic capacity and safety. Fluxiss uses these requirements in the municipal, highway and urban transportation projects.

In the USA, roadway design is based on AASHTO Green Book geometry, MUTCD traffic control, MEPDG pavement design, and HCM/HSM traffic capacity and safety. Fluxiss implements these criteria in municipal, highway, and urban transport projects.

The pavement thickness is determined by analysis of the traffic load, soil condition, climate and type of materials. With AASHTO MEPDG, Fluxiss develops asphalt and concrete pavements that address actual traffic flows and regulate maintenance expenses over a long period.
