roadgrade
Roadgrade refers to the longitudinal slope of a road surface. It is typically expressed as a percentage or in degrees and indicates how much the road rises or falls over a given horizontal distance. For example, a 5% roadgrade means the road rises or falls 5 units vertically for every 100 units horizontally.
Roadgrade is a critical design element in road construction and engineering. It affects vehicle performance, fuel
Engineers carefully consider roadgrade to balance operational efficiency with safety and environmental factors. In mountainous or
The maximum allowable roadgrade is often dictated by design standards and regulations, which vary depending on
