ImplementationImplementation
FHWA Adoption – NHS Highways– March 14, 2002– States will have 1 year following FHWA
Adoption to Begin Using (March 14, 2003)FDOT will use this time to review and make any necessary changes to FDOT Design Criteria and Update the PPMFlorida Greenbook – Update for 2004?

ImplementationImplementation
For Now on FDOT Projects– PPM & ’94 AASHTO In Effect– Exceptions are to be based on ’94 AASHTO
until 2001 Edition is recognized in PPM– 2001 Edition may be used as support when
documenting, justifying Design ExceptionsJanuary 2003 PPM will incorporate ‘01 AASHTO

Units of MeasurementUnits of Measurement
Both metric and U.S. customary units are usedIn Text– Metric first, followed by U.S. customary in
square brackets: 80 km/h [50 mph]
In Exhibits– Separate exhibits for metric and U.S.
customary units are presented where needed

Units of MeasurementUnits of Measurement
Metric values are those that would be used if the policy were entirely metricU.S. customary values are those that would be used if the policy were entirely U.S. customary– Users should work entirely in one system of
measurement or the other– Do not attempt to convert values!

New design speed definition“…a selected speed used to determine the various geometric design features of the roadway. …should be logical with respect to topography, anticipated operating speed, adjacent land use, and functional classification.”Old design speed definition “...maximum safe speed that can be maintained over a specific section of highway when conditions are so favorable that the design features of the highway govern.” (Same wording used in Florida Greenbook)

Stopping Sight Distance Criteria revised based on NCHRP Report 400– initial speed equal to design speed (no reduction to
average running speed)– based on deceleration rates for controlled braking rather
than locked-wheel braking– deceleration rate is 3.4 m/s2 [11.2 ft/s2 ], independent of
speed
