You have the horizontal alignment for a new road project completed, and are now producing superelevation 

You have the horizontal alignment for a new road project completed, and are now producing superelevation diagrams for each curve. You have the following information for the curve you are currently considering: Longitudinal profile is flat, so zero gradient, with center line level 125.00 AHD. Lane width including line markings is 3.75m to edge of traffic lane. Normal crossfall on tangents (straights) is -3% Full superelevation throughout the circular curve is 5% Circular curve length is 475m Length of application of superelevation is 100m Length of plan transition (spiral) is 62.5m Chainage at start of superelevation development (SSD point) is 2750m Sketch the superelevation diagram for this curve showing the chainage, center line and edge of traffic lane levels at: SSD point TS point SC point CS point ST point ESD point (75 marks) Identify those sections of your diagram where pavement crossfall will be less than +/-0.5%, state their length, and explain the implications of this situation.
