How is a crowned road typically designed?

Higher on the sides than in the middle
Higher in the middle than on the sides
Flat across the surface
Depends on the weather conditions

The correct answer is: Higher in the middle than on the sides

A crowned road is typically designed to be higher in the middle than on the sides. This design allows for proper drainage of water towards the sides of the road, helping to prevent puddles and reduce the risk of hydroplaning. By directing water off the road surface, the crowned design helps maintain better traction for vehicles, including motorcycles. This design feature is important for rider safety, especially during wet weather conditions. Option A is incorrect because a crowned road is not designed to be higher on the sides than in the middle. Option C is incorrect as a crowned road is not flat across the surface. Option D is incorrect because the design of a crowned road is based on factors such as water drainage and road safety, rather than weather conditions.
