Explanation
Answer: C - Superelevation would not be desirable when the roadway will be used by bicycles or pedestrians. As with other transportation design elements, the advantages and disadvantages of incorporating superelevation into the overall design must be considered. Additionally, state and local highway departments may limit the acceptable maximum rate of superelevation for roadways to be constructed in their jurisdictions.
