Explain about camber & gradient

Question

Accepted Answer

Camber is the curvature of a road or track, while gradient refers to the slope or incline of the road.

Camber is the transverse slope of a road, which helps with drainage and stability.
Positive camber means the road is higher in the middle and slopes down towards the edges.
Negative camber means the road is lower in the middle and slopes up towards the edges.
Gradient refers to the longitudinal slope of a road, indicating the rise or fall over a given distance.
A positive gradient means the road is uphill, while a negative gradient means it is downhill.
Both camber and gradient are important factors in road design to ensure safety and efficient drainage.
