Think of how sharp turns feel.
Question 2.
What is the super-elevation?
Show hintHide hint
How the road tilts in a curve.
3Question 3.
What is the purpose of a transition curve?
- To increase road speed
- To provide a gradual change in direction
- To decrease road width
Show hintHide hint
Consider the effect on driving.
4Question 4.
Is super-elevation crucial for all road curves?
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
What happens to vehicles on curves?
Question 5.
For a 10 m wide road with a deflection angle of 40°, calculate the necessary super-elevation at a speed of 70 km/h. Social factors should be taken into account.
