Transition curve
For summit curves, the recommended IRC shape is a parabolic curve, although an ideal curve is theoretically circular.
True
False
Valley curves are designed primarily to provide sufficient stopping sight distance under daylight conditions.
True
False
Assertion (A): Transition curves are provided so that centrifugal force is introduced gradually. Reason (R): Because the radius of the transition curve varies from infinity to zero.
