Your answerSelect all correct options. You can choose more than one.

The coefficient of friction used for the design of horizontal curves is lower than the coefficient of friction used in the computation of the sight distances.

Centrifugal force at horizontal curve is counteracted by raising the middle of the pavement with respect to the edges.

Grade compensation is achieved by increasing the gradient of the horizontal curve.

Under identical conditions, the design length of the summit curve of a road having unidirectional flow will be greater than that of the same road having bidirectional flow.
