Diploma thesis describes and researches some proposed ČSN 73 6101 elements for road design and their subsequent comparison with Norma de Traçado that is main law for road design in Portugal. In practical part, the speed of vehicles during moving on direction curves is researched and subsequently coherence of theoretical assumptions with real speeds is compared. The main aim of this work is to verify the assumption that design speed does not correspond to the real speed that drivers move on road structures.
