32. What is the term used to describe the transition zone between normal cross slope and full super-elevation on a highway curve?

1. Spiral curve
2. Critical section
3. Superelevated section
4. Transition curve

Answer

The correct answer is: D) Transition curve

Explanation

The transition curve gradually introduces super-elevation, minimizing abrupt changes in cross slope for smoother vehicle transition.
