About this document
Turnout Design Speed Guidelines by CK Tang is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document provides guidance on selecting turnout crossing angles to match line speeds and reduce risks associated with diverging at line speed. It advises that turnout crossing angles of 1:7.52 can only be used for non-mainline applications below 80 km/hr, 1:8.25-1:9 for mainlines below 80 km/hr, 1:15 for mainlines from 80-110 km/hr, and 1:21 for mainlines over 110 km/hr. If existing crossing angles meet these, they can be retained, otherwise a risk assessment is required to request a waiver from the Ch
