They are essential part of any road that is not on fill and must be incorporated into the road cross-section. These are designed to accommodate the expected rainfall but can often be hazardous to vehicles that run off the road.
transverse drainage ditches
shoulder
drop curve and gutters
longitudinal drainage ditches
The most important criteria to consider to avoid safety hazards created by the drainage ditches is the actual reconnaissance survey during wet whether to identify the natural run-out locations. Slopes on the side nearest the road should not be steeper than _____ and preferable flatter as this will minimize accident severity. The slope farthest from the road may be as steep as the ground will permit.
