The final meeting of the County State Aid Highway (CSAH) and Trunk Highway Rural Design Standards Task Force was held on November 3,1989. This final report is hereby submitted for review by the Steering Committee and transmittal to the Mn/DOT Operations Management Team and the Executive Committee of the Minnesota County Highway Engineers Association.
The report contains background information and recommendations developed through 14 meetings beginning in December 1988. An executive summary is included for the convenience of readers. The report will be of interest to those administering the standards, and those called upon to support them in public, as well as to those undertaking revisions in the future.
The primary objective of the Task Force was to achieve a greater measure of agreement between rural design standards used for two independent county and state highway systems supported in part by the state highway user distribution fund. This objective will have been largely accomplished if the recommendations of the Task Force are formally adopted by the authorities responsible.
