-
A.
1 Kerb at the middle and 2 medians at the side
edges
-
B.
Kerb and median classification names are not based

their shape
-
C.
Kerb for both the side edges of the pavement and
1 median at the centre line of the pavement
-
D.
Median is a longitudinal element and kerb is a lateral
element
Correct Answer:
C. Kerb for both the side edges of the pavement and
1 median at the centre line of the pavement
Explanation:
In a highway cross-section, kerbs and medians serve distinct structural and safety functions based on their placement. Kerbs are typically positioned along the side edges of the pavement to define boundaries, facilitate drainage, and provide lateral support. In contrast, a median is a longitudinal divider situated at the center line of the roadway to separate opposing traffic streams and prevent head-on collisions. Therefore, the correct match is that kerbs are located at the side edges while the median is placed at the center line.
