Description |
WITHOUT Adverse Crown Removal |
Superelevation of both left and right-hand side carriageways will start developing as soon as the road leaves the crested road (normal camber condition). Both carriageways will develop individually towards the maximum superelevation.
|
WITH Adverse Crown Removal |
When superelevation development starts by leaving a crested road (normal camber condition), the outside carriageway will start developing to a positive crossfall equal to the crossfall of the inside carriageway. During this period the inside carriageway will not change. The superelevation will then be at a normal camber condition at distance 2 x Lc from the end of the crested road. From here both carriageways will proceed towards the maximum superelevation. The same process will be followed when leading out of the curve.
