crossfall

🗣️

DEFINITION

the transverse slope or gradient across a road or path designed to drain surface water

EXAMPLE SENTENCES

Civil engineers calculated the precise crossfall on the new highway to prevent dangerous water pooling today. Proper road crossfall directs rainwater quickly into side drainage channels during heavy storms. Paving crews checked the lateral crossfall using digital slope meters before finalizing the asphalt. Inadequate crossfall on mountain roads increases the risk of vehicle hydroplaning during heavy rains. The design manual specifies a standard two percent crossfall for optimal surface drainage performance.
