In 1963, the corporation of the city of Glasgow approved plans for 96 km of motorways. To date, 2017, 48 km have been constructed. These are on a grand scale, with 5 km of dual five-lane, 2 km of dual four-lane and over 25 km of dual three-lane motorways. Traffic flows as high as 198 000 vehicles/d have been recorded. Savings of time, accidents and fuel have been realised as a result. The main focus of this briefing paper is the geometric design of the motorways. Scott Wilson Kirkpatrick and Partners, consulting engineers, were responsible for this work. Much emphasis is placed on motorway traffic volumes. This is because road user benefits are directly related to the amount of traffic diverted to the motorways. Also, predicted traffic was a primary factor in the outline design of the motorways.

简报：格拉斯哥高速公路系统–几何设计和成果

1963年，格拉斯哥市公司批准了96公里高速公路的规划。截至2017年，已建成48公里。这些都是大规模的，有5公里的双五车道，2公里的双四车道和超过25公里的双三车道高速公路。记录的流量高达每天198 000辆车。结果，节省了时间，事故和燃料。本简介文件的主要重点是高速公路的几何设计。咨询工程师Scott Wilson Kirkpatrick和Partners负责这项工作。重点放在高速公路交通量上。这是因为道路使用者的利益与转移到高速公路的交通量直接相关。同样，预测的交通量是高速公路轮廓设计的主要因素。
