I Verklaring betreffende de aanleg van internationale hoofdverkeerswegen

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MAIN INTERNATIONAL TRAFFIC ARTERIES

1. The fundamental characteristics of the design and construction of the main international traffic arteries, hereinafter designated as “international roads”, are dealt with in the following provisions. They apply only to the sections of these roads outside built-up areas. The latter should be by-passed if they constitute a hindrance or danger.

2. It is always desirable to adopt maximum dimensional characteristics whenever this is possible without undue expenditure; those indicated hereinafter as a rule represent the minimum. However, in some exceptional cases (unfrequented roads, mountainous areas, very difficult terrain, etc.), reduced dimensional characteristics adapted to local conditions may be allowed, subject to the fullest possible observance of the spirit of the directions given below, and in particular of those relating to homogeneity of alignment.

3. The roads are built according to the volume and the composition of the traffic to be accommodated and with reference to a suitably selected design speed. The volume and composition of traffic to be considered are those of some definite peak hour, excluding peaks occurring with low frequency, so as to limit the hours of congestion to an acceptable number with due regard to the probable development of traffic. The design speed chosen is as high as possible with due regard to the importance of the road, the topography of the region traversed, and other local conditions.
