(QHDM)The Qatar Highway Design Manual (QHDM) was prepared in response to Qatar National Vision 2030 (QNV) and in recognition of Qatar's commitment to a long-term plan to develop an integrated public transport network that supports the transition of Qatar from a vehicle trip-based society to a modern, sustainable, multi-modal society.This manual replaces the version first published in 1997. The manual declares the requirements for the design of roads in Qatar, provides general guidance, and acknowledges for the first time the importance of sustainability in road infrastructure in Qatar.
