Transition curves are used between straight sections and curved sections of a road to gradually change between the two. Without a transition, a vehicle entering a curve would experience centrifugal force, increasing the risk of derailing, overturning, or slipping. Transition curves reduce this risk by slowly introducing the curve. The maximum safe speed of a vehicle on a banked curved road depends on the radius of the curve and the bank (angle of the sloped road surface), not the mass of the vehicle. Proper banking allows the centripetal force needed to navigate the curve to be provided by the normal force of the road rather than excessive lateral acceleration of the vehicle.

negligible when the vehicle is moving at a high speed, the forces acting are: Weight = mg Normal reaction exerted by road surface on the vehicle, N Horizontal component of N = NSin Vertical component of N = NCos

The
vehicle has no vertical motion.
So,
N Sin directed towards the centre of
the curve provides the necessary centripetal force.

v is the maximum safety speed with which
vehicle can be safely driven along a banked road. This is also independent of the mass of the vehicle.
