The purpose of the Manual is to serve as a nationally recognised document, the application of which is deemed to serve as a standard reference and ready source of good practice for the planning, investigation, design and construction of low volume rural roads (LVRR)s in Myanmar. This Design Manual provides practical guidance to roads practitioners responsible for the design of low traffic earth, gravel or paved roads throughout Myanmar. The Manual has been drafted to be fully adaptable for use by different stakeholders, at national, state, township and local level administered by authorities, enterprises or communities.
