📚noun

superelevation

🗣️

DEFINITION

banking of a road, banking of a railway track, elevation of one side on a curve, transverse slope on a bend

EXAMPLE SENTENCES

Engineers designed sufficient superelevation to help vehicles safely negotiate the sharp mountain curve. The railway requires careful superelevation because trains travel rapidly around the newly constructed bend. Excessive superelevation can cause discomfort when vehicles move slowly along a curved roadway. The survey team measured superelevation at every bend before approving the highway design. Proper superelevation reduces sideways forces and improves stability for vehicles traveling around curves.
