Abstract: Some items of the current Road Engineering Drawing Standard (GB50162-92) are
imprecise, difficult to understand and apply, and out-of-date compared with the Chinese National
Standards of Technical Drawing. These items are analyzed and some amending suggestions to
these items are also put forward based on the experience and understanding of road engineering
drawing teaching and road engineering design drawing. In addition, other proposals on the basic
notation, general and simple drawing method of sectional view and cutaway view are also put
forward in this article. The purpose is to arouse extensive discussion for the current Road
Engineering Drawing Standard and to promote its revision.

Key words: road engineering drawing, standard, technical drawing, amendment, additional
recommendations
