Cut and Fill Slope
Cut and Fill Slope
• Are rarely created greater than a slope of two to one
(horizontal to vertical dimensions). Cut sections of
roadway or rail are characterized by the roadway being
lower in elevation than the surrounding terrain. From
an operational standpoint there are unique
environmental effects associated with cut sections of
roadway. For example, air pollutants can concentrate in
the ‘'valleys'‘ created by the cut section. Conversely,
noise pollution is mitigated by cut sections since an
effective blockage of line of sight sound propagation is
created by the depressed roadway design.
Highway Median
• A median is a portion of a divided highway
separating the traveled way for traffic in the
opposing direction.
Advantages og Midian
• It is effective means of reducing headlight
glares and accident between opposing
streams of traffic.
