Road Engineering Quiz

The document contains 15 multiple choice questions about road engineering concepts like carriageways, footpaths, camber, gradients, superelevation, and highway alignment and design. Key points covered include that the portion of road used by vehicles is the carriageway, footpaths are for pedestrians, recommended camber on concrete roads is 1 in 45 to 60, the highest point on a carriageway is the crown, and camber provides for drainage, counteracting forces, and sight distance. Land transport is also identified as the cheapest mode of transportation.
