Banking of Roads - Learn the Concept & Angle of Banking Roads

Banking of Roads:

  1. The raising of the outer edge of a curved road above the inner edge to provide the necessary centripetal force to the vehicles so that they take a safe turn is called banking of roads.
  2. Due to the high friction between the road and the tires, the tires wear out or tear down.
  3. When the outer edge of a curved road is raised, the horizontal component of normal reaction provides a centripetal force, that results in less friction than in a flat road.
  4. Therefore, the wear and tear of tires reduce due to the banking of roads.
