    7. Horizontal alignment guidelines are provided for compound curves, reverse curves, and reverse curves with plan transitions and a short separating tangent. For compound curves, the ratio of flatter to sharper radius should not exceed 1.5:1 and may be up to 2:1 at intersections and ramps. Reverse curves should not have a design speed difference exceeding 10 km/h. Superelevation development should be applied over each curve length as well as any plan transitions or short tangent separating the curves of less than 0.6 times the design speed.

    HORIZONTAL ALIGNMENT
    7.5.1 Compound Curves

    In the direction of travel the ratio of the flatter radius to the sharper radius should not exceed 1.5:1. A maximum ratio
    of 2:1 may be used at intersections and ramps. (Reference: A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets",
    AASHTO, 2004, p201.)

    7.5.3 Reverse Curves

    The connected curves should not have a design speed difference exceeding 10 km/h. To allow for the development
    of superelevation between curves, the normal superelevation development length should be applied to each curve.
    The length of horizontal plan transitions required for that curve radius/speed combination should be calculated
    assuming the tangent section is to return to a crown cross-section. For specific requirements refer to Section 7.5.4
    Transition Curves.

    7.5.3.1 Reverse Curves with Plan Transitions and a Short Separating Tangent

    For reverse curves with plan transitions and a short tangent, the superelevation development from one curve to the
    next should be applied over the full length of both curve plan transition lengths and the short tangent - refer to Figure
    7.5.3.1a.

    Short tangent lengths should be desirably not less than 0.6V. Where V = design speed. A check should be done to
    ensure there are no surface drainage problems.
