An Ideal Road
well vegetated area
water diversion
lake
| Roads with high erosion
potential and/or run close to the lake may need additional structures to help
control run-off. |
|
| Water diversions such as
speed bump like mounds, or partially submerged logs help to divert run-off
away from the direction favored by the lay of the road. |
|
| Culverts can be especially
useful in changing the side of the road run-off is primarily flowing on. Culverts should be big enough to
handle maximum flow volumes and be adequately buffered with sediment and gravel
to minimize impacts of erosion and road use. |
