This chapter assists practitioners with the design and operations of road segments and interchanges in rural areas. It specifically considers the following topics: design elements for the uninterrupted‐flow facilities in rural areas; and impact of roadway safety on the roadway designs and the available tools for measuring the safety of all users. The chapter also discusses signs, pavement marking, traffic safety devices, and lighting conditions in rural areas; effective practices, including lane regulation and control, safety of pedestrians and cyclists, Case Sensitive Solutions (CSSs), and traffic simulation models; and common challenges associated with rural transportation planning. It presents case studies, including CSS examples, safety effectiveness evaluation, and road safety audit (RSA) procedures. Finally, the chapter discusses emerging trends in rural roadway design and operation, including the Interactive Highway Safety Design Model design consistency module, the Intelligent Transportation System ePrimer, and the concept of green highways.
