The only standards we publish now in dual units is our Driveway Policy and that is used by permitee's thought New York. Other agencies that use our specs either have to use the Metric versions or convert them manually.

CalTrans backpeddling on issuing *dual unit standards*, and instead encouraging users to use the "newer metric standard". Sounds like a step in the right direction. Nat ---------------------------------- Dual-Unit Standards For use by local agencies in preparing project plans and specifications for construction of local streets and roads. Units are in both, "International System of Units" (metric), and United States Standard measure (English). Due to budgetary constraints, since July 2003, Dual-Unit standards have not been consistantly updated. Before using a Dual-Standard, you should first check the 1999 Metric Standards. (select here for the 1999 standards page) to see if a more recent version exists. If so, you should consider the nature of the update and possible conversion and use of the newer metric standard. http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/esc/oe/conststand.html
