Abstract

The function and use of aesthetic criteria for the highway development process is examined and directions are recommended for future study and implementation. The major premise established for procedure of the study is that aesthetics is not an additive to the process of highway planning and design but must be identified and implemented as an integral component. The research report identifies the visual parameters of the highway planning process related to a range of disciplines; evaluates them for their relevance to improved highway appearance and use; and driver behavior, suggests a methodology to identify and integrate visual and behavioral criteria for a more complete highway planning process; and applies this methodology in a demonstration case study. /author/.
