Geometric Design of RHD Roads30 Vertical Vertical Alignment of a road consists of a series of straight grades and Vertical Vertical curves smooth the passage of vehicles from one grade to another and enable sightdistance to be maintained over the summit of a rise. Convex Vertical curves are called summitor crest curves, and concave Vertical curves are known as sag curves. At crest curves theminimum length is determined principally by the need to provide the required sight distance,though appearance is also a consideration. On sag curves sight distance is generally not aproblem, at least in daylight, but satisfactory results can be obtained by designing them in thesame way as crest of CurveThe recommended form of Vertical curve is the parabola (see Figure ). It is convenient todefine parabolic Vertical curves by the length of curve required for a change of grade of 1%,this being a constant for the parabola:K = L/Awhere:K = length required for a 1% change of gradeL = length of Vertical curve (assumed to equal length in plan)A = change of grade in %The K value is effectively an expression for degree of curvature (multiplying K by 100 givesthe equivalent radius of the Vertical curve).
