Rural intersection: optional edits introduction

Before showing the optional edits to help the shoulder elevations and the curb and gutter elevations match we will show you an overview of the results to help you decide if these options are necessary. These edits are optional only used if you find a special need to make the resulting surface more like what will be constructed out in the field.

Info: To show the changes clearly colors of the links have been changed here: green for the shoulder, yellow for the terrace behind the curb and gutter. We've also removed several point code labels that were cluttering the view.

1. Match the curb head closer at the match point between the shoulder and the curb.

4. Flatten the shoulder slope as we approach the curb and gutter match point. this will make the ditch point of the shoulder match more closely to the ditch point that would result from the back of terrace point.

6. After

   

7. There is now almost a 6:1 slope vs. the original 4:1
