Width Length and Height are only physical points of a vehicle and nothing to do of design of road because width, length and height are only come into consideration in turning manoeuvre.

A road is totally design by speed of vehicle in friction, stopping distance, longitudinal slopes etc.

Yes in the same way the superelevation of a vehicle is also designed by speed of vehicle. i.e. v*v/225R.

Here it is true that the width, length and height does not provide any effect for worsting the alignment. Speed of the vehicle is the right answer.

Aspect related to roads are decided by speed of the vehicle, which shall work for any vehicle irrespective of the model.

Width of the vehicle is influenced only in sight distance; otherwise speed of the vehicle is the right answer.

This is designed as per speed of the vehicle.

Road design consider to the speed.

Because of pavement design is mainly depending up on the design speed of the vehicle.

Speed of vehicle is only involved as a variable while the other three parameters are taken as per IRC reccomendation. Thus ie speed which contributes a major role.
