Pivot at Right Side - Distorted Median (Superelevation on Divided Planar Roads)

Product Documentation
Intermediate

The following illustration describes the Right 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 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.
