The Project Leader, Roadway Designer and/or Roadway Region Liaison, and Area Maintenance Manager should be the minimum. Depending on the outcome of the Accident/Traffic Analysis and known Structural Needs, the Region Traffic Engineer (or equivalent) and/or a Bridge Designer may be added. To assist in the analysis and scoping trip, Roadside Inventory Items 3, 4, and 5 (see below) should be completed prior to the site visit. They can then be reviewed on site by the team and compared with the accident history. Major improvements dealing with deficiencies identified in items 3, 4, and 5 will rarely be incorporated on this category of project. These will incorporate more low cost mitigation to address these items, as an accident history will probably not be present that will generate a good benefit/cost for the more substantial improvements. Other than roadside features, the field work on these projects should be limited to the amount needed for quantity calculations, in particular leveling for crown and super correction. By their nature, urban projects may require some additional work but every effort should be made to limit the survey work to the minimum needed for the particular project. During scoping, the need for exceptions to design standards should be identified. Design exception requests shall be submitted as soon as the need is identified. This will minimize the need for redesign should the exception request be denied. For further information on design exceptions, see Chapter 5. By their nature, 3-R Projects on sections of highway having low accident history place special emphasis on pavement preservation recognizing that certain cost effective safety improvements may be necessary and desirable.
