In civil engineering, a reverse curve is a section of the horizontal alignment of a highway or railroad route in which a curve to the left or right is followed immediately by a curve in the opposite direction.
On highways in the United States reverse curves are often announced by the posting of a W1-4L sign or a W1-4R sign , as called for in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices.
Reverse curves on the Northeast Corridor in the USA hinder the development of high-speed rail.
Reverse curves cause buffer-locking.
