quick question, does anyone know what kind of slope angle (measured in degrees) are typically used for major roads (like motorways). obviously they would ideally be as flat as possible but this isnt always gonna happen due to varying topography and budgets. must be some limit so that HGVs etc are able to make steady progress?

anyone any experience from construction/planning?

cheers
