travelled way¶
part of the roadway that is currently intended for transport purposes
Clause: 3.3.1.6
Note 1 to entry: The travelled way does not include hard shoulders, hardstanding, or other areas that are not currently intended for normal operational use. In other words, while these other areas are "designed" for transport purposes, they are not "intended" for normal transport purposes (at present); rather these extra areas exist for safety and other exceptional use conditions.
Note 2 to entry: While the limits of the roadway are defined by the design of the physical infrastructure and are generally static; the limits of the travelled way can be dynamic, such as in the case of a hard shoulder for emergency use being converted into hard shoulder running operation.
History note: Introduced in ISO/TS 14812:2022
