This Bureau of Mines publication contains a complete manual for design of surface mine haulage roads. The manual covers such aspects of haulage road design as road alignment, both vertically and horizontally, construction materials, cross slope and drainage provisions. Traffic control and design of proper lane widths to promote safe vehicle movement is also included. Other areas contained in this manual are suggested criteria for road and vehicle maintenance and for runaway vehicle safety provisions. The aim of this publication is to provide those involved with surface mine haul road design with a manual containing recommended practices that, if implemented, will promote safer, more efficient haulage routes.
