Verklaring betreffende de aanleg van internationale hoofdverkeerswegen
International roads are classified into the following categories:
A. Ordinary type roads
(a) Category I: Roads having a single carriageway with two traffic lanes each at least 3.50 metres wide
These roads can normally accommodate volumes not in excess of 600 vehicles/hour with 30 per cent heavy vehicles or 900 vehicles/ hour without heavy vehicles, provided the geometric characteristics of the road ensure good passing sight distance on the greater part of the length of the road and crossings at grade are not too numerous.
(b) Category II: Roads having more than two traffic lanes each at least 3.50 metres wide
Under the same conditions as above these roads can normally accommodate volumes not in excess of 900-1300 vehicles/hour for 3-lane roads. Four-lane roads can accommodate 1500-3000 vehicles /hour according as the percentage of heavy vehicles is high or low and the traffic in the two directions even or uneven. It is also recommended that, for greater safety, separate one-way carriageways be provided whenever possible where the intensity of traffic exceeds 600-900 vehicles/hour. In the case of 3-lane roads, longitudinal marking is especially necessary.
B. Motorways
Motorways are roads for automobile traffic only; they are accessible only from specially designed interchanges and have no crossings at grade. These roads generally have two separate and independent one-way carriageways each carriageway having at least two traffic lanes each with a minimum width of 3.5 metres.
