Hi!
Can anyone recommend a good book on this subject.
Horizontal aligment design, vertical aligment design, superelevation, parking places...
I found few good topics on the internet but I would like to buy a good book.
Thank you.

Anyone, please :-(
 
Do some on line searches.


For instance a text I used for a course I taught. was by Yoder


Doing a search for "Highway alignment" or "Highway Intersections" or "US Department of Transportation" are just a few.

Many state Departments of Transportation have Design manuals on the Internet.
 
What are you trying to do? Learn the subject? Design a road? The Green Book is the bible for design, but it is not going to go very in-depth with teaching the actual subjects.
 
Ana - You want the second book you listed (PGDHS), or also known as the "Green Book."
 
@Twinkie
Yes to re-learn (learned long ago) the subject and design a road.
Why do you say its not going to teach me the subject?
 
If you have previous knowledge you will be fine...I was not sure of your level of experience. It's not really a "textbook" that will teach the subject, but if you have some background you will be fine.
 
There is the Highway Engineering Handbook by Baker.
