The phenomenon of raising outer edge of the curved road above the inner edge is to provide necessary centripetal force to the vehicles to take a safer turn and the curved road is called Banking of Roads.
Introduction
When a vehicle goes round a curved road, it requires some centripetal force. While rounding the curve, the wheels of the vehicle have a tendency to leave the curved path and regain the straight line path. Force of friction between wheels and the roads opposes this tendency of the wheels. This force of friction therefore, acts towards the centre of circular track and provides the necessary centripetal force.

Fig. (1) Vehicle moving on level road
In fig (1), it is shown that a vehicle of weight ‘mg’ (acts vertically downwards) is moving on a level curved road. R1 and R2 are the forces of normal reaction of the road on the wheels. These are vertically upward since road is leveled. Hence,
R1 + R2 = mg
Let F1 & F2 are forces of frictions between tyre and road directed towards centre of curved road.
∴ F1 = μ R1
And
F2 = μ R2
