A breakdown lane is a lane that serves as emergency
parking space for accident-stricken vehicles, accommodates operation of rescue
vehicles and where other vehicles are prohibited from operating on and parking
on except for priority vehicles.
1.3.2. Design vehicle flow
Design vehicle flow is a number of cars equivalent
derived from the number of other vehicles passing through a cross section over
a unit of time in the future year.
1.3.3. Future year
The future year refers to the 20th year
from the year in which expressway construction is expected to finish.
1.4. Design speed of expressway
Design speed of expressway is divided into 3 bands:
The 120 band has design speed of 120 km/h;
The 100 band has design speed of 100 km/h;

An expressway may consist of segments with varying
speed bands as long as each segment lasts at least 15 km in length and
differences in design speed of two adjacent segments do not exceed 20 km/h.
Where an expressway is subject to more than one band (20 km/h), a transition
segment of at least 2 km in length with intermediate design speed is required.
1.5. Reference documents
Reference documents used in this document include:
- QCVN 41:2024/BGTVT “National Technical
Regulation on Traffic Signs and Signals’’.

2.1.1. Structure of expressway must meet
integrity and stability requirements and conform to natural conditions.
2.1.2. Expressway contains at least 4 lanes
(2 lanes per direction of travel) and is outfitted with continuous breakdown
lanes (except where: the expressway crosses a bridge with at least 150 m in
span or 50 m in pier height; the expressway travels in tunnel; deceleration and
acceleration lanes are located on the expressway; climbing lanes are located on
the expressway).
2.1.3. Structures attached to expressway
include: collector road and frontage road; traffic management and coordination center;
roadside stations, parking spaces; stop-less electronic tolling system; weigh
stations; barriers and other structures of expressways.
2.1.4. Cross-section of expressway may rest
on the same road base or two separate road bases if two directions of travel
are situated on two separate road bases.
2.2. Cross-section of
expressway
2.2.1. Number of lanes is determined on the
basis of design vehicle flow and is at least 2 lanes per direction of travel.
Width of a lane is at least 3,75 m for band 120, band 100 expressways and at
least 3,50 m for band 80 expressways (including band 60 sections).
2.2.2. Width of breakdown lanes is at least
3,00 m for band 120 and band 100 expressways and at least 2,50 m for band 80
expressways (including band 60 sections).
2.2.3. Median strip
2.2.3.1. Median strips (consisting of
medians and safety strips on both side of the medians) are required to separate
two directions of travel. Width of safety strips is at least 0,75 m for band
120 and band 100 expressways and at least 0,50 m for band 80 expressways
(including band 60 sections). Median strips are designed so to meet safety
requirements.

2.2.4. Width of earthen strips is at least
0,75 m; grass or other surface covering materials are used to prevent erosion.
2.3. Cross-section of
expressway bridge and tunnel

on bridges must contain all elements similar to that of the main segment. Where
bridge span is at least 150,0 m in length or bridge pier is at least 50,0 m in
height and breakdown lanes are not available, a transition segment from
expressway cross-section tapered towards the bridge segment is required.
2.3.2. Cross-section of expressway segments
in tunnels
2.3.2.1. Cross-section of expressway
segments in tunnels must have sufficient width to accommodate all elements
similar to those in main expressway segments including footpaths (for
maintenance and evacuation purposes). Where expressway segments in tunnels do
not accommodate breakdown lanes, safety strips whose width conforms to design
speed of the expressways are required.
2.3.2.2. Where expressway segments in
tunnels are at least 1000,0 m in length and do not accommodate breakdown lanes,
an emergency refuge area of a minimum length of 30,0 m and minimum width
conforming to design speed of expressways is required every 500,0 m in
expressway length or less.
2.4. Collector road and frontage road are required to
accommodate travel demands of inhabitants living in areas affected by and
separated by expressways.
2.5. Geometric elements of
expressway

1. Values contained in brackets correspond to a
design speed of 60 km/h.
2. Length of transition curve must be calculated
so to ensure safety and convenience. Transition curve is not required where
superelevation is not necessary.

expressways must be guaranteed.
2.5.3. Regulations on longitudinal slope.
