Chapter outline & purpose
M-02
What this manual covers
The Design Manual codifies expressway-specific design rules — geometric, pavement, structural, drainage, geotechnical, and tunnel/ITS — so designers do not rely on adapted general-highway documents.
Each chapter begins with the Uganda regulatory context, then specifies design inputs, computation methods, and acceptance criteria, with worked examples and checklists.
Why it matters in Uganda
Concrete pavement, tunnels, and detailed geotechnical procedures were previously under-specified for Ugandan expressway use. This manual closes those gaps with localized criteria and Ugandan case references.
