PROBLEM OF THE WEEK - Civil AM: Transportation - How Cross Slope Changes Through A Horizontal Curve

The combination of horizontal and cross-sectional elements onto one image can be difficult to understand and interpret.  In this video, we break down the key points of a horizontal curve and explain how and when the slope of the roadway changes to obtain the necessary cross slopes. Step-by-step, both the outside and inside edge of pavement elevations (relative to the centerline) are described.
