Highway engineering:-

Highway engineering, a field of civil engineering, deals with the planning, design, building, operation, and maintenance of highways, bridges, and tunnels to ensure the safe and effective movement of people and goods.
After the Second World War highway engineering grew in popularity near the end of the 20th century.
Engineering standards for roads are constantly being raised.
Future traffic patterns, intersection/interchange design, geometric alignment, pavement material selection, building system of pavement thickness, and pavement maintenance are all factors that must be considered by highway engineers.
