The scenarios span from a "global dry" future with lower temperatures and less rain than today to a "wet Ethiopia" future with more rain than today and an increase in heavy rain so that a 10- year storm in 2050 will be 25% more intensive than today. The foreseen increases in average temperatures range from -1 OC to 2 OC by 2050.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABSOLUTE CHANGEABUTMENTALTITUDEANNUAL PRECIPITATIONASPHALTAVERAGE ANNUAL RAINFALLBINDERBITUMENBITUMINOUS PAVEMENTSBRIDGEBRIDGE DECKBRIDGE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMBRIDGESCALCULATIONCALIBRATIONCARRIAGEWAYCBRCLIMATECLIMATE CHANGECLIMATE CHANGE CONSEQUENCESCLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTCLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTSCLIMATE CHANGE PREDICTIONSCLIMATE CHANGE SCENARIOSCLIMATE CHANGESCLIMATE CLASSIFICATIONCLIMATE CONDITIONSCLIMATE DATACLIMATE IMPACTCLIMATE IMPACTSCLIMATE INFORMATIONCLIMATE MODELCLIMATE MODELINGCLIMATE MODELSCLIMATE PREDICTIONCLIMATE PREDICTION MODELSCLIMATE PREDICTIONSCLIMATE RESILIENCECLIMATE RISKCLIMATE RISKSCLIMATE SCENARIOCLIMATE SCENARIOSCLIMATE TRENDSCLIMATE VARIABILITYCLIMATE VARIABLECLIMATE-RELATED HAZARDSCLIMATIC ZONESCONSTRUCTIONCONVERGENCECOSTS OF CLIMATE CHANGECRACKINGCROSSINGCRUCULVERTSDAILY TEMPERATUREDAMAGESDITCHESDRAINAGEDRAINAGE SYSTEMSDROUGHTDUSTECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC COSTSECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMICS OF ADAPTATION TO CLIMATE CHANGEEMBANKMENTEMISSIONEMISSION SCENARIOEMISSION SCENARIOSEMISSIONSEMISSIONS SCENARIOEMISSIONS SCENARIOSENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTSEROSIONEVAPORATIONEVAPOTRANSPIRATIONEXPANSION JOINTSEXTREME EVENTSEXTREME RAINFALLEXTREME WEATHEREXTREME WEATHER EVENTSFEASIBILITYFEEDER ROADSFLOODINGFLOODSFROSTGCMGENERAL CIRCULATION MODELGRADEGRAVELGRAVEL ROADSHEAVY TRUCKSHIGH TEMPERATUREHIGHWAYSHYDROLOGICAL CONDITIONSHYDROLOGYIMPACT OF CLIMATEIMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGEIMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGESIMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGEINCREASE IN TEMPERATUREINFRASTRUCTURESINTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONEIPCCITCZLAND USELANDSCAPINGLANDSLIDESLOADINGLOCAL AUTHORITIESMEAN RAINFALLMEAN TEMPERATUREMEAN TEMPERATURE INCREASEMETEOROLOGICAL STATIONSMIX DESIGNNET PRESENT VALUEOSCILLATIONOVERLAYPAVED ROADSPAVEMENTPAVEMENT DESIGNPAVEMENT REHABILITATIONPEDESTRIANSPIERSPIPESPOLICY IMPLICATIONSRAINRAINFALLRAINFALL AMOUNTSRAINFALL DATARAINFALL INCREASERAINFALL PATTERNSRAINFALL REGIMESRAINFALL VARIABILITYRAINY SEASONRAINY SEASONSREINFORCED CONCRETEREINFORCEMENTRESURFACINGROADROAD AUTHORITYROAD CLASSIFICATIONSROAD CONSTRUCTIONROAD DESIGNROAD DESIGNSROAD INFRASTRUCTUREROAD LENGTHROAD MAINTENANCEROAD NETWORKROAD PROJECTSROAD REHABILITATIONROAD SECTORROAD TRANSPORTROAD TRANSPORT SERVICESROAD USERROAD USER COSTSROAD USERSROADSROADWAYROUTINE MAINTENANCESAFETYSATURATIONSEA LEVEL RISESEALINGSEASONSEASONAL PRECIPITATIONSEASONAL RAINFALLSEASONAL TEMPERATURESEDIMENTSEDIMENTATIONSHRINKAGESITE INVESTIGATIONSLABSLOPE STABILITYSOILSSPANSPEEDSTIFFNESSSTORM FREQUENCYSTORMSSUBBASESUBGRADETEMPERATURETEMPERATURE CHANGESTEMPERATURE GRADIENTTEMPERATURE GRADIENTSTEMPERATURE INCREASESTEMPERATURE RANGETEMPERATURE VARIATIONTEMPERATURESTERRAINTHROUGH TRAFFICTOPOGRAPHYTOTAL COSTTRAFFICTRAFFIC FLOWTRAFFIC LEVELSTRANSPORTTRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORT POLICYTRANSPORT POLICY DECISIONTRANSPORT USERSTRANSPORTATIONTRUNK ROADSTYPES OF ROADSUNCERTAINTIESUNPAVED ROADSURBAN ROADSVEGETATIONVEHICLESWINDWorld Bank10.1596/12889
