Abstract
Trail design and engineering are complex tasks that change as rules and technology change. The discussion in this session will cover design criteria such as drainage, wayfinding signage, road crossings and surface materials. AASHTO standards for trails will also be discussed and analyzed. Good engineering and design can make trails easier to maintain for the future and safer for your users.
