Mastering the Curve: The Ingenious Design of Germany's Autobahns

Image
In Germany, the renowned Autobahns are famous for their intricate design, particularly the high relief curves. These curves, elevated at the edges, are a feature known as "caralte" and are ingeniously engineered for multiple crucial purposes. The strategic banking of these curves plays a vital role in counteracting the centrifugal force exerted on vehicles during high-speed maneuvers.
