Question 5223
A change in road grade is:
- A section of road where there is a change in direction.
- A section of road where the full width of the roadway cannot be seen.
- A place where two sections of road with different slopes meet.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A place where two sections of road with different slopes meet.
A change in road grade is where two sections of road with different slopes meet, like the top of the hill in the image. Many block your view of the other side, but not all, so limited visibility is not what defines them. If the road changes direction, it is a bend.
