e is superelevation.
A is spiral parameter in meters.
NC is normal cross section.
RC is remove adverse crown and superelevate at normal rate.
Spiral length, L= A + radius.
Spiral parameters are minimum and higher values should be used where possible.
Spirals are desirable but not essential above the heavy line.
For 6-lane pavement: above the dashed line use 4-lane values; below the dashed line use 4-lane values x 1.15.
A divided road having a median less than 7 m may be treated as a single pavement.
