3.6 HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL CURVE SUMMARYAn analysis of the vertical and horizontal curves along six selected roadways wascompleted as part of the <strong>Transportation</strong> <strong>Assessment</strong>. The six roadway analyzed werealso studied as part of the Highway Capacity Analysis; Cole Lane, State Line Road,Wilson Creek Road, Yorkridge Road, Jamison Road and North <strong>Dearborn</strong> Road. Thestandards for which the horizontal and vertical alignments were measured are includedin the example typical sections in Chapter 2 of this report. Below is a summary of theanalysis; more detailed data along with mapping is included in the Appendix of thisreport.Table 3F – Horizontal and Vertical Curve DeficienciesRoadway Horizontal Curves Vertical CurvesMinimum Radius notmetRate of Curvature notmetMin/Max GradeCriteria not metCole Lane 49% 42% 14%State Line Road 33% 72% 17%Wilson Creek Road 32% 65% 7%Yorkridge Road 33% 39% 0%Jamison Road 64% 26% 17%North <strong>Dearborn</strong> Road 42% 45% 56%As illustrated in the table above, each of the roadways studied has some degree ofdeficiency. The greatest deficiencies are found on North <strong>Dearborn</strong> Road where over halfof the curves do not meet standards. The curve deficiencies on each of the roadwaysdiffer in severity and should be analyzed individually before improvements alternativesare determined.<strong>Dearborn</strong> <strong>County</strong> <strong>Transportation</strong> <strong>Assessment</strong> Page 3-9
