In the past, crowned roads were been the most common design.
These roads had cross drainage culverts, ditches on the sides of the roadway, and water turnouts at intervals along the road. The roadbed cross-section normally sloped downward from a high point in the center to the shoulders. Subsurface soil material like sand was often substituted for or combined with native material if clay, silt or organic material is present. Surfacing material like gravel or crushed stone was often added (as much as 18 inches high at the centerline of the road) for drainage, provide all-weather access and reduce maintenance.
Traditionally crowned roads were built in all terrain and water conditions but are now recommended for areas between 0 and 3 percent slope but not where standing water is common.
