| contents | This study examines the pavement and geometric design of the Dispensary-Kerio-Gate B (University of Eldoret, Kenya) Road and the Upande-Kimumu-Peris Road. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the current pavement conditions and geometric design of the road links, identify the existing problems, and recommend suitable solutions by developing an economical and practicable design that satisfies the standards. The study included field investigations, topographic data collection, traffic count, pavement design, geometric design, materials computation and analysis. The results demonstrated that the pavement conditions and geometric designs of the two-road links were deficient, resulting in frequent accidents, traffic congestion, and vehicle damage. The study recommended a number of measures to enhance the pavement and geometric designs of the roads, such as upgrading to bitumen standards, widening the roads, enhancing drainage systems, and adopting suitable design standards. The study's findings will assist road designers, engineers, and policymakers in enhancing road conditions and safety, as well as the overall transportation system. |
