For every 4.5 rise, the run is 100, hence tangent of the angle of inclination is (4.5/100) = 0.045. Now find out the angle whose tangent is 0.045 from a table or using a calculator. It turns out to be 2.576 degrees
A two percent road grade is a grade where the road rises 2 units for every 100 units travelled.100 feet horizontal travel, will result in a two foot gain in elevation. It is a relatively shallow gradient.
for every 100 feet of road you travel, you rise 9 feet
When determining the measurement of slope on a road, the equations are for grade (gradient). The formula is grade = (rise ÷ slope length) * 100

At least! You got a problem with that ?

I suppose you mean road gradients which are specified in percent. This means the amount of rise or fall per unit of distance. Thus a gradient of 1 in 5, which means a rise or fall of 1 unit in 5 units of distance, would be stated as 20 percent, that is 20 in 100, which is the same as 1 in 5.

No. It is Big Avenue, not Main Street.
