banked curves
Sloped roadway bends
Banked curves are curves in a road, track, or path that tilt inward, with the outer edge raised higher than the inner edge.
The banking helps vehicles or runners maintain speed through turns by counteracting centrifugal force: The NASCAR track has steeply banked curves.
Common on racetracks, highway ramps, and velodromes.
