Sažetak
This paper describes a rational approach to improve the existing guidelines for road design in the regions of Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Serbia in order to determine the carriageway crossfall in curves. In these guidelines there are certain shortcomings in determination of crosfall in comparison to some other European countries guidelines. During the last decades, worldwide and in Europe specifically, significant studies have been conducted on the issue of the operating speed and its implementation into the design process. Most European countries have been implementing this concept. The new German guidelines went a step further and introduced a new concept of a self-explaining class road. Using the results of research carried out in Croatia, this work focuses only on a determination of the carriageway crossfall based on operating speed, separately observing new and existing roads. Whereas the new road segments require implementing the principle of a consistent route, an existing road network can be safely improved only by introducing the criteria of the determination of crossfall in curves based on the operating speed.
