What is the effect of crown camber when turning right?

Crown camber is the design feature of a road that tilts downward from the center to the edges, typically to facilitate drainage. When turning right, the effect of crown camber is to reduce the steering effort required.

As a vehicle turns right on a road with crown camber, the downward slope on the right side helps to assist the car in moving through the turn. This means that gravity aids in pushing the vehicle down towards the road on the right side, which decreases the amount of effort the driver must exert on the steering wheel to maintain the desired trajectory. Consequently, the steering becomes lighter, making it easier to navigate the turn without straining against the vehicle’s weight or the angle of the road.

In contrast, if the road were perfectly flat or had a camber that tilted in the opposite direction, more steering effort would be required to make the same turn.
