VI. DISCUSSION
Superelevation is the rotation of the pavement on the approach to and through a
horizontal curve. Superelevation is intended to assist the driver by counteracting the
lateral acceleration produced by tracking the curve. Superelevation is expressed as a
decimal, representing the ratio of the pavement slope to width, ranging from 0 to 0.12
foot/feet. The adopted criteria allow for the use of maximum superelevation rates from
0.04 to 0.12. Maximum superelevation rates for design are established by policy by each
State. Selection of a maximum superelevation rate is based on several variables, such
as climate, terrain, highway location (urban vs. rural), and frequency of very slowmoving
vehicles.
