Abstract: The *Guidelines for the Design of Interchanges in Urban Areas (First Revision)* outlines principles for designing and constructing interchanges in urban settings. Developed by the Highways Specifications and Standards Committee, it covers technical, safety, and environmental considerations, including interchange types, geometric design, traffic optimization, and safety for motorized and non-motorized transport. The guidelines stress multi-modal transportation, environmental concerns like noise barriers and landscaping, and the integration of drainage, illumination, and signage systems. The document also addresses construction, maintenance, and aesthetic aspects. Prototypes are provided to help implement these guidelines, ensuring safe, sustainable, and efficient urban mobility solutions.
