The use of standard drawings streamlines the entire project lifecycle. They provide pre-approved, field-tested designs that have been vetted for safety and compliance with state and federal guidelines, including those from the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). For example, standard drawings for guide rail and median barriers have been updated to meet the latest AASHTO Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware (MASH) criteria, ensuring that roadside safety features are as effective as possible.
