	The roadway inslope typically varies from 1V:6H to 1V:2H depending upon the application of clear zone concepts and the soil report. The [[231.2 Clear Zones\|clear zone]] is the roadside border area immediately adjacent to the travelway. This border area is provided as a safe area for errant vehicles to regain control. It is desirable to provide clear zone on all roadway facilities with posted speed 45 mph or greater. The application of clear zone depends on many things including posted speed, roadway functional classification, accident history and cost comparison between clear zone and guardrail. Additional information concerning clear zone concepts can be found in Chapter 3 of the AASHTO Roadside Design Guide.

As a rule of thumb, to satisfy clear zone requirements and to economize grading, fills 20 ft. high and lower can utilize a 1V:4H slope.
