Great explanation. Thanks

[@thepwayengineer]

Glad it was helpful!

[@youdo3029]

Very useful guidance. Sir, is it permissible to have a vertical curve inside a horizontal curve?

[@thepwayengineer]

Yes, you can but it is preferable to avoid coincidental changes

[@youdo3029]

@@thepwayengineer Yes, thank you sir. We have the problem of a light railway between two places of different elevations connected by a single horizontal curve. So it is inevitable that there are two vertical curves in one horizontal curve, but we place the overlap on the circular curve, not on the transition curve. Are there any special requirements for this?
