Pivot at Outside of Curve - Distorted Median (Superelevation on Divided Crowned Roads)

Product Documentation
Intermediate

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

Distorted Median means when superelevation is applied, the median width remains that same, but either side raises or lowers to accomodate the superelevation. This option distorts the median shape, and the pivot points maintain their original position.

For an explanation of superelevation diagrams, see Superelevation Axis of Rotation Pivot Methods.
