1. Crest curve: A vertical curve where the road rises to a peak before descending again.
2. Sag curve: A vertical curve where the road dips down before rising again.
3. Parabolic curve: A smooth, symmetrical curve that is commonly used in road design to connect two different grades.
4. Compound curve: A combination of two or more simple curves that are connected to form a more complex vertical curve.
5. Reverse curve: A vertical curve that changes direction, typically from a crest curve to a sag curve or vice versa.
