Figure 4-2: Type 16 combination-inlet on-grade test data<br />

Figure 4-3: Type R curb inlet on-grade test data<br />

Several general trends can be found in the on-grade test data:<br />

• The highest inlet efficiency occurs at the lowest flow velocity.<br />

• The velocity <strong>of</strong> flow is influenced by the longitudinal <strong>and</strong> cross slopes, <strong>and</strong> lower<br />

slopes produce lower velocity.<br />

• Flow on the model street section was almost always supercritical<br />
