RE: Curb Returns Designs
Teh max longitudinal slope is usually 8%. On the uphil side of intersetions, even that can be hard to meet. I beleive NYSDOT sets an upper limit of 8 feet.
To see the actual US federal "guidelines" (but they are often enforced as regs) go to http://www.access-board.gov/indexes/accessindex.htm
Hope this helps!

I think, as a designer, if the economics warrant, it is best to design the profile grade as flat as possible.
