Vehicle Turning Radius and Swept Path (AASHTO)

AASHTO minimum turning radii and swept path width for cars, box trucks, buses and WB-40 to WB-67 semis, for site and loading dock design.

How to use

  1. Choose a design vehicle, from a passenger car (P) to a WB-67 interstate semi.
  2. Read the outer, centerline and inner turning radii and the width of the swept path, with a diagram of the turn.
  3. Values are AASHTO minimum design turns at low speed (under 10 mph). Use them to lay out drive aisles, drop-offs and loading areas.
