Abstract:The horizontal curve design is an important link in the engineering design of urban roads. The detailed requirements are proposed in Urban Road Line Design Specification (CJJ 193-2012). There is the difference among the using conditions applicable for the different design clauses, which will make the partial designers have the different meanings in the understanding of some clauses during the practical work. By analyzing the basic principle of the related design clauses of horizontal curve, based on the symmetrical basic curve, the boundary conditions applicable to the different clauses are put forward. Aiming at three conditions of the horizontal curve angles α≤6°, 6°<α<12° and α≥12°, the relevant design method of horizontal curve is proposed.
