For radii greater than R7, the normal transition designed for 0.3m/sec 3 will be insignificant<br />

and not generally required. However, where crossfall is being reversed from the adjacent<br />

curve, it may be suitable to provide a transition to apply the superelevation change. In such<br />

circumstances, longer transitions than normal will often be required to suit the<br />

superelevation design.<br />

Progressive superelevation or removal of adverse camber should be achieved over or within<br />

the length of the transition curve from the curve end. Where a transition curve is not<br />

provided, approximately two thirds of the superelevation should be introduced on the<br />

approach, and the remainder at the beginning of the curve.
