    This document provides design controls for vertical curves on roads based on stopping sight distance. It gives the recommended rate of vertical curvature (K) in feet per percent grade for various design speeds, which is calculated from the stopping sight distance and ensures drivers can see far enough to stop safely. The rates are rounded up from calculated values for design purposes.
