For grade changes more abrupt than those shown in Figure 7A, vertical curves at least 10 feet long should be used to connect tangents. For industrial access, vehicle clearances with respect to the access profile may become critical. The City of Tiffin City Council may require the use of vehicle templates to ensure proper clearance on the access.
