Ramp travel index or RTI, is a way of measuring a vehicle's ability to flex its suspension, a property also known as axle articulation. The RTI rating is used mainly in the off-roading industry to test and describe chassis limits of modified vehicles. The ramps vary between 15 and 30 degrees of angle for the vehicle to ride up.
On each side on the freeway, there is an (often multi-lane) exit ramp, followed by a loop ramp and directional ramp entering the freeway. The on-ramps are in the same configuration as a cloverleaf interchange, but there is one off-ramp for each freeway direction instead of two, typically requiring a controlled intersection where the off-ramp ...
A dumbbell interchange along Ontario Highway 401 in Clarington, Ontario, Canada.This one features a loop ramp. The ramp intersections may also be configured as a pair of roundabouts [1] to create a type of diamond interchange often called a dumbbell interchange [citation needed] (due to its aerial resemblance to a dumbbell), and sometimes called a double roundabout interchange.
A speed hump (also called a road hump, or undulation, [17] and speed ramp) is a rounded traffic calming device used to reduce vehicle speed and thus sound volume on residential streets. Humps are placed across the road to slow traffic and are often installed in a series of several humps to prevent cars from speeding before and after the hump.
