Gaining a complete understanding of road and highway planning is difficult without an appreciation for how demographics, land use, travel demand, alternative modes, environmental considerations, stakeholders' concerns, and funding are all essential to the planning process. This chapter presents urban roadway principles that should guide roadway and highway planning. It discusses some of the performance and capacity relationships used for determining "need" in highway planning, and this is followed by a discussion of infrastructure condition measures. The chapter discusses the context‐sensitive solutions (CSS), traffic calming, Green Roads, and Complete Streets, four concepts that many transportation planners are involved in today. The chapter presents examples of highway system planning leading to a highway investment program. Finally, the actual planning for roadway systems is very similar to other planning contexts, with an articulation of goals and objectives, the use of traffic and land‐use data, the use of travel demand models and other means of forecasting future impacts.
