Median Width

Return Home, to  RSAP-V3 Wiki

Median Width

The median width represents the combined width of the median treatment (i.e, curb, barrier, grass, etc.) and the median shoulders as defined by the Roadside Design Guide. The width of a median protected by concrete barrier with two foot shoulders might be six feet (2' barrier width + 2-2' shoulders=6').   Therefore, the starting and ending station of the median should be entered with the RSAPv3 keyword "MED_WIDTH" and a value of 6 should be entered representing the median width for this example.   Real number between 0 and 150 are accepted values.   The default median width is 30 ft for Divided Highways and is undefined for one-way or Undivided Highways.
