Grades on Highways Explain Steep Road Limits and Haulage
The article explains grade percentages and their impact on vehicle loads. A 1 per cent grade rises one foot per hundred feet, while a 10 per cent grade rises ten feet per hundred feet. Tests show a horse pulls 1000 pounds on level, 810 on one foot in fifty, and 250 on one foot in ten. It argues highways should stay at 3 or 4 per cent grade where heavy loads travel, possibly requiring relocation to reduce grade and haul costs.
