Question 1

What does a 2% gradient indicate?

  • The road rises 2 m per 100 m
  • The road falls 2 m per 100 m
  • No change in elevation

💡 Hint: Think about how we measure inclines.

Question 2

Visibility calculations are important for which reason?

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Safety should always be a priority in design.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a road profile connecting a 3% rise to a 5% fall with a parabolic curve of 100 m in length. Calculate the reduced levels at 25m intervals.

💡 Hint: Keep the gradient rates in mind and divide the curve accordingly.

Question 2

Devise a scenario where the visibility distance is inadequate due to design flaws. How would you redesign it to improve visibility?

💡 Hint: Ensure each driver has clear sight for safety.
