Ministry of Forests Engineering Program Geometric Road Design Template v1.1
February 2026


This template is intended to assist geometric road designers with preparing and presenting a geometric road design that meets the requirements of FOR Engineering Manual (February 2026). It gives one option to accomplish this, and does not preclude others. It also does not complete the design for the user, nor does it automatically populate information in the multi-plot. The user must be competent in geometric road design and must adequately transfer the information of and for the design to the multi-plot.

Text in red font in the multi-plot is placeholder/explanatory and must be customized to the project.

This template comes in a ZIP file and consists of eight individual files:
	-A PDF illustrating the intent of the template
	-A DLT for use during geometric design
	-A TXT with curve widenings (additive) for use in geometric design
	-A BLT with the multi-plot layout
	-A TERX with the standard north arrow used in the multi-plot
	-A TERX with the standard cross-section used in the multi-plot
	-A JPG with the standard FOR logo used in the multi-plot
	-This TXT file

This template does not contain ground files or template files, as those aspects of the design must be developed specific to the site and project.
