Surely it must be the camber?
No, curve is not an adjective.Curve is a verb, e.g. The road will curve to the left up ahead.It can also be a noun, e.g. There is a sharp curve in the road up ahead.The adjectival form of curve is curved, e.g. That road is sharply curved.Curved can also be a verb, e.g. The road curved to the left.
Which of the following best describes a plane?A. A curve in a roadB. The point of intersection of two wallsC. The surface of a flat tableD. The edge of a desk
When rounding a curve, you should reduce your speed to maintain control and stability. Look ahead to anticipate the curve and adjust your steering smoothly without making abrupt movements. Keep your vehicle positioned toward the inside of the curve, and be aware of any potential hazards or changing road conditions. It's essential to maintain a safe distance from other vehicles to ensure a safe maneuver.
If the speed is constant, the acceleration is toward the center of the circle.
An example of an inclined plane is a ramp, slanted road, or a slide. An inclined plane is a surface that is at an angle against a horizontal surface.
The camber
The slight curve engineered into the top of Roman roads, known as camber, was designed to facilitate water drainage. This curvature allowed rainwater to flow off the road's surface rather than pooling, which helped prevent erosion and deterioration. Additionally, it improved traction for vehicles and pedestrians, enhancing overall safety and durability of the road. This engineering innovation contributed to the longevity and effectiveness of the Roman road network.

Camber on a parabolic curve refers to the slight curvature or tilt of the road or track surface, designed to enhance drainage and improve vehicle handling. In terms of a parabolic curve, camber can affect the angle and shape of the curve, influencing how vehicles interact with the road. A positive camber tilts the surface outward, while a negative camber tilts it inward, each impacting stability and tire wear differently. Properly designed camber helps maintain traction and control, especially in turns.
A curve in the road is a bend. If the bend is very severe, it is a hairpin-bend.

A banked curve uses the force of gravity to help keep vehicles on the road while turning by tilting the road surface inward towards the center of the curve. This tilt helps to counteract the centrifugal force that pushes the vehicle outward during the turn, allowing gravity to assist in keeping the vehicle on the road.
I use a mirror with a slight convex curve - like the outside of a spoon, but a lot less bent. But it's hard to find a good one. If you fasten a flat mirror most places on a bicycle, the mirror image will shake around so you can't see it. Also, in a convex mirror, you can see more of the road. But if it's too much bent, too round, then the image is distorted and you can't judge where a vehicle in the mirror really is. The last mirror I bought was described as convex, but actually is flat, so I'm planning to get a piece of car mirror glass cut by a glazier to fit in the frame. That glass is just a little convex.

Banked road.
a curve... Well that could be an answer however it is not possible to have a bend or a curve 'in' a straight road. A curve or bend is, by definition, after the end of one straight section and before the beginning of the next; so it can not be 'in' a straight road.
The maximum speed at which a car can safely negotiate a frictionless banked curve does not depend on the mass of the car. It depends on the angle of the bank, the radius of the curve, and the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road surface.
The curve in the road was thick with ice, causing many accidents on the highway.
