cross slope

Shoulder cross slope should be between 2% and 6% but not less than the main lanes.

A small commercial project with the challenge of over 4' cross slope on a triangular corner lot.

Cross slope and lane width affect the safety performance of a road.

In areas that receive significant snow and ice, most agencies use a maximum cross slope of 6 to 8%.

"Do you mind if I practise my cross slope landings for when the football team are playing?

A cross slope wind will give both conditions at different places on the slope.

Lower cross slope increase the risk for loss-of-control at high speed when the surface is icy.

Wider roads require a higher cross slope to achieve the same degree of drainage.

The city's final inspection revealed many of the sidewalks exceeded the 2 percent cross slope limit, he said.

In civil engineering, cant is often referred to as cross slope or camber.

Cross slopes slowly and keep side-mounted equipment on the uphill side of the tractor.

Cross slope is usually expressed as a percentage:

The strip back fire pattern was ignited by hand drip torches, proceeding cross slope.

Inadequate cross slope will contribute to aquaplaning.

Trouble sections include entrances and exits of banked outercurves, where the cross slope is close to zero.

A modern profilograph can provide data of both road curvature and cross slope (angle of incline).

Cross slope describes the slope of a roadway perpendicular to the centerline.

In tangent (straight) sections, the road surface cross slope is commonly 1-2% to enable water to drain from the roadway.

The resultant of cross slope and grade is called drainage gradient or "resulting grade".

In some cases, permeable asphalt or concrete can be used to improve drainage in the cross slope transitions.

Roads should be designed so that sections where the cross slope change direction (and sign), are located where the road is going uphill or downhill.

These measurements include road curvature, cross slope, asperity, roughness, rutting and texture.

Many road profilers also measure the pavement's cross slope, curvature, longitudinal gradient and rutting.

In horizontal curves, the cross slope is banked into superelevation to reduce steering effort and lateral force required to go around the curve.

These hot spots are found at the entrances and exits of banked curves, where the cross slope changes direction in order to create superelevation.
