Road curves
are regular bends in roads to bring a gradual change of direction. Similar
curves are on railways and canals.
Curves provided in the horizontal plane are known as horizontal curves
and are generally circular or parabolic.
Four types of circular curves are on roads:
*Simple curve
*Compound curve
*Reverse or serpentine curve
*Deviation curve
Simple curve
A simple curve has the same radius throughout and is a single arc of a circle,
with two tangents meeting at the intersection
Key Terms
* PC: Point of Curve
* PI: Point of Tangent Intersect
* PT: Point of Tangent
