This research resulted in recommended truck accommodation design guidance for TxDOT. These recommendations separate truck accommodation design guidance into three categories based on truck design year AADTT. For less than 5000 trucks per day, there are no significant changes recommended to current design practice. There are changes recommended to accommodate trucks at 5000+ trucks per day, with separate truck roadways recommended at 25,000+ trucks per day. This guidance will enhance TxDOT planning and design practices when large volumes of trucks are predicted and will prove useful in development of the Trans-Texas Corridor.
