| Comparison of a poorly designed road with no transition curve with the sudden application of centripetal force required to move in a circle versus a well -designed road in which the centripetal acceleration builds up gradually on a Cornu spiral before being constant on the circular arc. The second animation shows the increasing curvature of the transition curve which is able to connect to a circular arc of progressively smaller radius.
