Non-constant radius curves on ramps and highways are not frequently encountered and should be noted through yellow diamond signage. >> The last thing I'll look at while in a curve is what my speedometer says. > It's your funeral. So you're saying that I should ignore what's ahead of me in the curve as well as not pay attention to traffic on the road I'm planning to merge on and just look at my speedometer then? My experience tells me otherwise. I've also read that braking while in a curve is a good way to lose control one's vehicle. IOW, one should slow down before actually getting into the curve. When I'm paying attention to the road, I adjust my speed as appropriate without the assistance of the speedometer (which I really only look at when my RD goes off). |
