The Manual is part of the revised Road Design Manual, November 1994.  \nThe four Volumes of the Road Design Manual include:  \na) Road Design Manual: Vol. I Geometric Design;  \nb) Road Design Manual: Vol. II Drainage Design;  \nc) Road Design Manual: Vol. III Pavement Design; and  \nd) Road Design Manual: Vol. IV Bridge Design.  \nThe Manual gives guidance and recommendations to the Engineers responsible for the design of roads in Uganda. It complements the Ministry’s efforts in providing guidance to the construction industry by setting uniform standards to be used in the construction of infrastructure facilities that meet the needs of the users.  \nGeometric design is an essential component in the design of roads. The procedures for the geometric design of roads presented in this Manual are applicable to all classified roads as defined herein. The contents of the Manual are partly guidelines and recommendations to be considered and partly standards which asa general rule should be adhered to. However, in some instances special conditions may demand modifications to the standards set herein. In such cases special consideration should be given in consultation with the Engineer-In-Chief, Ministry of Works and transport.  \nFurther, this Manual is a technical document, which, by its very nature, requires periodic updating from time to time arising from the dynamic technological developments and changes. The Ministry, therefore, welcomes proposals on areas for further development and revision stemming from the actual field experience and practice. It is hoped that the comments will contribute to future revisions of the Manual expected to lead to better and more economical designs.  \nMinistry of Works and Transport  \nP.O.
