Banked curves are the sloped turn ways usually on high speed roads (i.e. highways, race car tracks). This is to increase the centrifugal force(gravity) on the car so it does not skid off the road.

What do you mean by banking of roads?

Curves are designed with a bank in them. In other words the curves are not flat. They have a certain degree of angle designed into the road. 2-5 degrees is not uncommon. This allows you to traverse that curve at a higher rate of speed than if it were flat.


What is the expression angle of banking?

The angle of banking refers to the tilt angle of a vehicle or aircraft in relation to the horizontal surface of the road or air. It is used to enhance stability and control during turns by reducing the risk of tipping over. The angle of banking is commonly seen in vehicles navigating curves on roads or airplanes during turns.
