The alignment of a highway or a street is represented by the manner the centerline of the roadway facility lies upon the land. It can produce a great impact on the environment, the fabric of the community, and the highway user. It is comprised of a variety of elements joined together to create a facility that serves traffic in a safe efficient manner consistent with the facility’s intended function. Chief among these elements are the [[230.1 Horizontal Alignment|horizontal]] and [[230.2 Vertical Alignment|vertical]] alignment of the highway.

The selection of an appropriate alignment for a given highway or street is based upon the anticipated posted speed of the facility and it’s intended function. MoDOT has established criteria for horizontal and vertical alignment based upon the following types of roadways:

Other aspects of the highway are sometimes viewed as a part of the alignment.
