Manto

10.0

Qualità mediana del manto. Asfalto liscio = 10. Chipseal = 8. Ghiaia = 5.

Tortuosità

0.3

Tortuosità mediana. Punteggi più alti significano più curve per chilometro.

Velocità

4.0

Adeguatezza del limite di velocità. Punto ideale a 60-110 km/h.

Classe stradaTertiary road

9.0

Classificazione stradale. Le autostrade hanno zero. Le strade terziarie hanno 9.

Traffico

9.0

Densità di traffico stimata. Meno traffico = punteggio più alto.

Dislivello

7.0

Variazione di altitudine per chilometro. Più salita = punteggio più alto.

Road intel

Grey spots10 of 16 segments

Segments where curvature is tighter than the posted speed limit. Geometry alone flags these as higher risk, no crash history required.

Wet riskElevated

Average wet sensitivity across segments, based on surface, drainage, gradient and local rainfall.

Night riskPresent

Visibility at night across the road, weighted by lighting, tree canopy density and curves.

Wind exposureModerate

Average wind exposure across segments, based on measured wind speed, terrain and shelter. Relevant for motorcycles and caravans.

Sun glarePresent

East-west segments exposed to sunrise and sunset glare, adjusted for tree cover.
