Transition Curve Length in Highway Geometric Design Formulas

Transition Curve Length should be such that full super elevation is attained at the end of the transition curve and applied at a suitable rate. And is denoted by L_t. Transition Curve Length is usually measured using the Meter for Length. Note that the value of Transition Curve Length is always positive.
