About the product

With the rapid increase in trade and tourism in the Asia-Pacific region, an urgent need to develop inter- and intra-regional transport links has been identified. This publication presents the findings of two completed projects for the formulation of the new regional Asia Highway (AH) network. It documents revised classifications of the AH and road design standards and also discusses border-crossing facilitation. The publication also outlines the format of the AH database and the software designed to enable AH countries to improve their existing resources and to establish computerized national road database. This unique publication is invaluable to policymakers, planners and researchers.
