Quick design‑time screening of flood hazard at roads and low‑water crossings using depth, velocity and
depth–velocity product. Units: SI or US. Not for real‑time safety decisions – design / planning use only.
Hazard categories here are generic and simplified, based on depth, velocity and d·v product. They are
intended for comparative design screening; always refer to your local roadway design
guidelines and floodplain management standards for project‑specific criteria.
