    Question

    Kerb and median are two elements in a highway cross - section. Choose the correct match.

    A.

    1 Kerb at the middle and 2 medians at the side edges

    B.

    Kerb and median classification names are not based on position in pavement cross-section but based on their shape

    C.

    Kerb for both the side edges of the pavement and 1 median at the centre line of the pavement

    D.

    Median is a longitudinal element and kerb is a lateral element

    Correct option is C



    Kerbs and medians are two essential components of highway cross-sections, each serving specific purposes:
    Kerbs are vertical or sloped barriers provided at the side edges of the pavement. They define the boundary between the carriageway and the shoulder or footpath, providing structural support and ensuring proper drainage.
    Median:
    Medians are longitudinal separators placed at the centre line of the pavement. They divide opposing directions of traffic flow, enhancing safety and preventing head-on collisions.
