Section views are typically provided at even intervals and at key locations along a road design.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not sure
• D. Sometimes

Answer: (A)

Section views along a road design are created to show how the cross-section changes along the corridor. Providing them at even intervals gives a uniform sample of the roadway geometry so you can see how lane widths, shoulders, ditches, slopes, and drainage behave as you move along the alignment. Including section views at key locations captures important transitions where the design changes—such as ends of tangents, curve transitions, intersections, or changes in widening—so those critical areas aren’t missed. This combination lets you verify geometry, drainage, and earthwork consistently and thoroughly. If you only used fixed intervals, you might miss abrupt changes; if you only used key locations, you might miss gradual variations. Therefore, the statement is true.
