Design of Vertical Alignment Generally Highway is aligned to follow the natural topography keeping in view the drainage and other design consideration. Note: This topic is part of the second chapter of Highway Engineering. I suggest reading this topic in the context of the complete chapter: Geometric Design of Highway. If you want to read
Set Back Distance: It is clearance distance, required from the centre line of pavement/road to the obstruction in ode to maintain the adequate sight distance to the curve. The set back distance or clearance required from the centre line of horizontal curve depends upon. Required sight distance (SD) Radius of horizontal Curve (R) Length of
Transition Curves: When a vehicle traveling on a straight road enters into a horizontal curve instantaneously, it will ca discomfort to the driver. To avoid this, it is required to provide a transition curve. This may be provided either between a tangent and a circular curve or between two branches of a compound or reverse

Method of Obtaining Superelevation: Introducing superelevation on a horizontal curve in the field is an important feature in construction. The full super-elevation is attained by the end of transition curve or at the beginning of the circular curve. The attainment of superelevation may be split up into two parts: Elimination of crown of the cambered
