This project is concerned with designing the road which connects Nablus city and Deir-Sharaf village . It lies in a rolling terrain. This is not a marginal road only connects a city with village, but it conveys the traffic from all the northern districts of West Bank to Nablus. It is the western entrance of the city that will be designed taking into consideration mobility, safety, smooth curves, and aesthetics.
The existing road is an old and narrow one; that means it is insufficient to convey the existing traffic at an acceptable level of service. The road has two lanes without a median, and limited shoulder widths, but the right of way is 30m, which means that the road can be widened, increasing the number of lanes if needed, and widening shoulders or installing sidewalks to reduce the number of crashes which occur on this road, because they are considered relatively high.
