Chapter 11 - Other Project Types

11.2. Special Design Considerations for Other Project Types

GDOT determines the need for projects other than the traditional roadway project.  The following section discusses design guidelines that are intended to provide for a uniform design approach for these types of stand alone projects. These guidelines are not intended to replace the Plan Development Process or to be a comprehensive or detailed manual for the design of these facilities, but guidelines for designers in preparing plans for these other project types.  In many cases the intent of the project is clear and the designer should strive to achieve the purpose and design intent of the project within the context of earlier chapters of this Manual.  Each topic contains the GDOT resource office with the most experience with a type of non-traditional, stand alone project to contact for additional information.  

Guidelines for the following types of projects are included in this section:

• bridge fencing projects
• bridge jacking projects
• ITS projects
• signing and marking projects
• noise barrier project
