	Shoulders of any width provide the proven safety benefit of extra recovery area for errant vehicles. The public perceives shoulders as an enhancement to the transportation system and have consistently identified them as a top tier desire~~. In response, MoDOT has challenged their districts to assemble funding from any source possible and provide as many miles of shoulders on its minor routes as possible~~. The following guidelines are offered as an aid to facilitate the design of these projects.		Shoulders of any width provide the proven safety benefit of extra recovery area for errant vehicles.
