Pivot at Outside of Curve - Maintain Median Shape (Superelevation on Divided Planar Roads)

The following illustration describes the Outside of Curve pivot method for a divided planar roadway.

Maintain Median Shape means when superelevation is applied, the median will raise to accommodate the superelevation. This option maintains the median shape, and the pivot points raise or lower.
