What is banking of roads?

Banking of roads is defined as the phenomenon in which the edges are raised for the curved roads
above the inner edge to provide the necessary centripetal force to the vehicles so that they take a
safe turn. Now, let us recall, what is centripetal force? It is the force that pulls or pushes an object
toward the centre of a circle as it travels, causing angular or circular motion. In the next few
sections, let us discuss the angle of banking and the terminologies used in banking of roads.

Other terminologies used are banked turn which is defined as the turn or change of direction in
which the vehicle inclines towards inside. The angle at which the vehicle is inclined is defined as the
bank angle. The inclination happens at longitudinal and horizontal axis.
