Scope of standard

Foreword: A Guide for Transportation Landscape and
Environmental Design has been prepared by the Task Force for
Environmental Design for the AASHTO Highway Subcommittee on Design.
The Task Force was assisted by members of the Transportation
Research Board Committee on Landscape and Environmental Design who
served as technical authors for the Guide. It supersedes the 1970
Guide for Highway Landscape and Environmenta1 Design.

The scope of the Guide has been expanded to include all modes of
transportation and the interaction of landscape considerations with
transportation improvements.

Specific emphasis has been placed on supplying technical
information that will assist the planner, designer, project
engineer, landscape architect, supervisor, and transportation
manager to provide landscape features and integrate them into the
transportation system, producing an environmentally pleasing
facility.

The Guide should be used as a basic reference to improve
landscape and environmental design with specific guidance for the
accommodation of transportation features which require aesthetic
consideration.

Additionally, this publication is intended to provide guidance
in the design of new and major reconstruction projects. The fact
that new design concepts are presented does not imply that existing
highway and transportation facilities are unacceptable. However,
improvement of the landscape and environmental features of existing
transportation facilities should be considered in conjunction with
other reconstruction projects. Sufficient flexibility is provided
to encourage independent designs tailored to specific
situations.

The Guide should be used with the AASHTO A Policy on Geometric
Design of Streets and Highways when incorporating environmental
design concepts into transportation improvements. Since it is not
possible to completely cover all concepts, values, and data in a
single publication, additional references are given in the
Introduction and in the Selected Bibliography at the end of the
Guide.
