I am looking for a way to transition a cross slope at an intersection.

I guess the question goes more into the idea of how to transition from a 2% cross slope to a 0.5% cross slope at an intersection that has a vertical curve in the alignment as well as transitioning lane widths.

Short of doing a lot of math to try to create a profile would there be any good way to do this?

Tried the superelevation editor and found that it does not like trying to do it on a straight line, they seem to like curves. Unless I am doing something wrong with this tool?

I was able to figure this out by using the super elevation editor and added custom superelevations or tranisiton on tangents rather than curves. It was fairly simple once you get into the editor.
