1.6. Manual Updates

The current GDOT Design Policy Manual is posted online at GDOT’s website http://www.dot.ga.gov/doingbusiness/PoliciesManuals/roads/Pages/DesignPolicies.aspx.

The GDOT Design Policy Manual will be periodically updated so that it appropriately reflects GDOT’s current road design policies and requirements.  An entire chapter or any portion of one or more chapters of the Manual may be re-written and replaced at any time. The version and latest revision date for each chapter are listed in the Manual Table of Contents, in the Table of Contents for each section, and at the bottom of each page in the printable/downloadable (.pdf) of the Manual. Revisions to this Manual are summarized in the Table of Contents. Implementation dates may be specified for certain revisions. 

While subscribers to the Repository for Online Access to Documentation and Standards (R.O.A.D.S.) Design Guidelines, Policies, and Procedures Homepage will receive e-mail notices of updates to the Manual, it will remain the responsibility of each Manual user to ensure that his/her downloaded copy of the Manual is current.

Completed plans shall be in compliance with all procedures and documents listed in this Manual, unless a separate implementation deadline has been established.
