Abstract
Accident reconstruction normally involves the travel of vehicles on a roadway. Many times it is important to know the attributes of the roadway because the roadway contributed to the accident or the geometries of the roadway help determine courses of travel or vehicle positions. Knowledge of reading the characteristics of the highway from construction drawings therefore becomes important.
