Abstract:Horizontal curves are a basic element of roadway design. Unfortunately, they are also one of the most hazardous locations on roads. In the U.S., the crash rate at horizontal curves is three times higher than at other parts of the roadway. In 2019, close to 20 percent of highway crashes occurred on curves. Roadway departure crashes—mainly run-off-the-road and head-on traffic crashes—account for most fatal crashes on these types of curves.
