Superelevation Terminology

Superelevation Terminology

Superelevation Terminology

(OP)
I am looking for the proper terminology of the 2 key points in the superelevation transition, one where the outside lane is at 0% slope (point where you go from RunOut to RunOff) and the other where the entire roadway section is at a constant Normal Crown cross slope. The term such at Normal Crown refers to the beginning of the RunOut going into the curve and Full Super refers to the end of the RunOff going into the curve. Then there is Remove Adverse Crown, I am not sure if this is the point where one side is at 0% slope or the entire roadway is a constant Normal Crown slope (Ex +2% lt, -2% rt). And after defining what the Remove Adverse Crown point is what is the other key point within the superelevation transition.

Thanks,

Rob
