“Well we have a road sign ahead and we’re coming to a bend. It’s not a warning triangle, it’s a rectangle and it might be in conjunction with a warning triangle about a bend. This one tells us there is an adverse camber.
Now, you should know, or you can easily Google it, that camber on a road is the slope coming down from the centre to the gutter to the curb on the road.
So if you can consider going around a left bend, you’ve got the highest bit of the road in the centre to your right and you’ve got the dip down to the gutter on your left.
Now, actually on a left ahdn corner, that’s helping you stay fairly stable on the road. When you go to a right hadn ebnd, there’s the high point of the road is to your right. The gutters are down to the left a little it, where all the water is draining down and that is more problematic because it feels like you’re falling of the road and, if you go too fast, you actually will fall off the road.
So, when you see an adverse camber, it means the whole road is leaning the wrong way for helping you around the corner. Not sure why anybody would make a road like that, but in this case that’s what you’ve got.
So adverse camber means you’re going to have to go slower on this curve, round this bend, than you might otherwise thought.”
