Uphill, downhill, tightening radius, adverse camber etc?

Avoid excessive speed, for one thing? I'd like to be a bit more helpful than that, but maybe we need to get into this in a bit more detail.

Best wishes all,
Dave.

Not that I'll know the answer to your question but when you say "sloped" do you mean an incline/decline or do you mean a camber?

I've had a few "moments" on the raised motorway slip-road bends, mainly due to crosswinds , speedbump type joints on the sectioning, and shite on a lot of the outer lanes.
I've also been a little surprise at the suggested max. speeds placed on these bends. Many are terribly conservative and then you happen upon one that's been posted by Mr. Rossi. eek

If you bear with me a couple of days, my next post will be about cornering - there should be plenty of information in it to answer your question, as corners on motorway sliproads shouldn't be treated any differently from any other kind of corner.
