                           TITLE 23--HIGHWAYS
 
 CHAPTER I--FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
 
PART 660_SPECIAL PROGRAMS (DIRECT FEDERAL)--Table of Contents
 
                     Subpart E_Defense Access Roads
 
Sec. 660.513  Standards.

    (a) Access roads to permanent defense installations and all 
replacement roads shall be designed to conform to the same standards as 
the agency having jurisdiction is currently using for other comparable 
highways under similar conditions in the area. In general, where the 
agency having jurisdiction does not have established standards, the 
design shall conform to American Association of State Highway and 
Transportation Officials (AASHTO) standards. Should local agencies 
desire higher standards than are currently being used for other 
comparable highways under similar conditions in the area, they shall 
finance the increases in cost.
    (b) Access roads to temporary military establishments or for service 
to workers temporarily engaged in construction of defense installations 
should be designed to the minimum standards necessary to provide service 
for a limited period without intolerable congestion and hazard. As a 
guide, widening to more than two lanes generally will not be undertaken 
to accommodate anticipated one-way, peak-hour traffic of less than 1,200 
vehicles per hour and resurfacing or strengthening of existing pavements 
will be held to the minimum type having the structural integrity to 
carry traffic for the short period of anticipated use.
