1. Cross slope

   Cross slope, cross fall or camber is a geometric feature of pavement surfaces: the transverse slope with respect to the horizon. It is a very important safety factor. Cross slope is provided to provide a drainage gradient so that water will run off the surface to a drainage system such as a street gutter or ditch. Inadequate cross slope will contribute to aquaplaning. On straight sections of normal two-lane roads, the pavement cross section is usually highest in the center and drains to both sides. In horizontal curves, the cross slope is banked into superelevation to reduce steering effort and lateral force required to go around the curve. All water drains to the inside of the curve. If the cross slope magnitude oscillates within 1–25 metres (3–82 ft), the body and payload of high (heavy) vehicles will experience high roll vibration.

1. cross slope

   Cross slope refers to the measure of the slope or incline that runs perpendicular to the direction of travel on a surface such as a road, path, or sidewalk. It is commonly used to describe the tilt or camber of a road or walkway, with a positive cross slope indicating a higher elevation on the outside edge and a negative cross slope indicating a higher elevation on the inside edge. This measurement is crucial for ensuring proper drainage and reducing the risk of water accumulation or ice formation, as well as maintaining a safe and comfortable surface for pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles.

If the cross slope magnitude oscillates within 1–25 metres, the body and payload of high vehicles will experience high roll vibration. Cross slope is usually expressed as a percentage: Cross slope . Cross Slope is the angle in the vertical plane from a horizontal line to a line on the surface, which is perpendicular to the center line. Typical values range from 2 percent for straight segments to 10 percent for sharp superelevated curves.
