dénivellations entre chaussée et l'accotement


Explanation:

"ROAD EDGE DROP OFF:
...
"ROR collisions occur predominantly on two-lane, undivided, rural roads. On many of these roads, there are typically no constructed shoulders at the edge of the paved road. Instead, there are sharp drop-offs to a grassy or gravel surface that can be many inches below the road surface. The situation is further aggravated when an overlay is paved on an existing roadway with no shoulder treatment. !"

"Autres nouveaux dangers : les dénivellations entre tapis d'enrobé et l'accotement ... Souvent, après la réalisation d’un nouveau tapis d’enrobé, une marche (de plus de 3 cm) subsiste quelques semaines ou toujours, cette marche est dangereuse et responsable d’accidents mortels pour les 2 roues motorisés ou non et pour les voitures "

Le panneau «Accotement surbaissé» (T-140) indique la présence d'une dénivellation supérieure ou égale à 50 mm entre la chaussée et l'accotement.

De même, une dénivellation trop brutale ou à bords francs entre la chaussée et l'accotement est à éviter.

disagree  B D Finch: Road (edge) drop offs are about road construction, not instructions to drivers.// That wasn't part of the header term, it was supporting text. The point was to know what "road drop-offs" meant. They aren't just slopes but a defect of a carriageway edge.

  -> Then what do they mean with minimise driving on road drop-off Is'nt it for thé drivers
