        abstract = {Flexible pavement is a primary component of modern transportation infrastructure, designed to distribute traffic loads through layered construction to ensure durability and serviceability. This study presents a comprehensive approach to the design of flexible pavement, focusing on the site-specific requirements near Safedabad. The core methodology involves systematic traffic volume analysis, subgrade soil investigation, and the determination of California Bearing Ratio (CBR) values in accordance with Indian Roads Congress (IRC:37-2018) guidelines. By integrating critical parameters such as design life, vehicle damage factors, and cumulative standard axles (MSA), the study calculates optimal layer thicknesses for bituminous surfacing, base, and sub-base courses. Structural analysis, facilitated by computational tools, ensures the pavement's resistance to fatigue cracking and rutting under anticipated traffic conditions. The findings demonstrate that adhering to rigorous material testing and compaction techniques significantly improves pavement lifespan and reduces long-term maintenance costs. Ultimately, this research provides a technical framework for engineering resilient road infrastructure capable of supporting modern traffic demands while maintaining safety and operational efficiency.},
