The following illustration describes the Left Side pivot method for a divided planar roadway.
Distorted Median means when superelevation is applied, the median width remains that same, but either side raises or lowers to accommodate the superelevation. This option distorts the median shape, and the 
pivot points maintain their original position.
For an explanation of superelevation diagrams, see About Superelevation Axis of Rotation Pivot Methods.
