Bypass Lane Type Section (Vehicle Envelopes Design Method)
- Select Free-flow to set the offset direction from the ICD (Inscribed Circle Diameter) to the closest point of the bypass lane edge (away from the center of the roundabout), outside of the ICD.
- Select Partial to set the offset direction from the ICD (Inscribed Circle Diameter) to the closest point of the bypass lane edge (towards the center of the roundabout), encroaching the ICD.
- Select User-Drawn and then click Pick Geometry to select the user-drawn polyline (complex-chain), consisting of lines and arcs, that represents the inside edge of the bypass lane. The geometry must cross the outside edge of the entry and adjacent exit lane.
