banked turn
Angled road bend
A banked turn is a turn where the surface or vehicle tilts inward, with the outer edge higher than the inner.
Roads and racetracks are banked at curves so vehicles can maintain speed without sliding outward.
Aircraft bank by tilting their wings to turn.
The NASCAR track's banked turns allow cars to corner at extreme speeds.
