I am designing a plant access road now. There is no space to do a typical crown two side slope road. So I decide go a one-side-sloped road along with one side ditch. The gravel road is 1.5km long, 11m width and will be 2% one side slope. Never did that before, Is it sound reasonable?

Thanks for any input

Sure, it is reasonable. Suppose you had a sharp curve. You wouldn't put a crown there.
