The superelevation is normally discussed in terms of the superelevation rate, which is the rise in the roadway surface elevation as you move from the inside to the outside edge of the road. For example, a superelevation rate of 10% implies that the roadway surface elevation increases by 1 ft for every 10 ft of roadway width. 5, record 1, English, - superelevation

Largeur des raies de la région à raies larges (BLR). L'élargissement des raies est dû à l'effet Doppler : les raies larges sont la preuve d'une vitesse importante. La région localisée à proximité du trou noir, où les vitesses des particules sont très importantes, est appelée région à raies larges (on utilise plutôt la dénomination anglaise, BLR pour Broad Line Region). À l'opposé, les régions situées loin du trou noir émettent des raies où l'élargissement Doppler est bien plus faible : on les appelle les régions à raies étroites, ou NLR (Narrow Line Region). Une partie des méthodes de détermination de la masse affirme que la région à raies larges (BLR) est liée par la gravitation au potentiel central du trou noir. Ainsi, la masse du trou noir peut être estimée à partir du rayon orbital et de la vitesse. 2, record 3, French, - r%C3%A9gion%20%C3%A0%20raies%20larges
