It is designed to provide a smooth and gradual change in the direction of travel for drivers, and to help prevent accidents.<\/p>\n<p>A lemniscate transition curve is another type of curve that is sometimes used in highway design. It is similar to a spiral curve, but it has a more complex shape. Lemniscate curves are not as common as spiral curves, but they can be used in situations where a more gradual change in curvature is desired.<\/p>\n<p>A cubic parabola is a type of curve that is not typically used in highway design. It is a relatively simple curve, but it does not provide a smooth and gradual change in curvature. Cubic parabolas are sometimes used in other types of engineering applications, such as the design of bridges.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, the correct answer to the question &#8220;The transition curve used in the horizontal alignment of highways as per IRC recommendations is&#8221;
