road geometry

Physical road alignment design: horizontal curve radius, vertical grade, sight distance, superelevation, lane width, and how the road's shape affects driving. This is the geometric layout of the roadway corridor itself, NOT the design of junctions where roads meet (intersection_design), NOT the surface traction on it (road_surface_friction), and NOT the scene's overall visual complexity (road_complexity).
