A horseshoe curve is a class of climbing curve in a roadbed which reverses turn direction (inflection) twice on either side of a single tight curve that varies through an angle of about 180 degrees or more. Such curves are more commonly found in a railway line but are also used in roads. The characteristic U shape, or even slight balloon shape, of such a curve resembles a horseshoe. On roadways, particularly tight versions of such curves are typically called hairpin turns.

  • Kehren sind Bestandteile einer Eisenbahnverbindung und dienen zum Auf- oder Abstieg der Strecke, in der Regel im Mittel- und Hochgebirge. Kehren können oberirdisch als Kehrviadukt oder unterirdisch als Kehrtunnel angelegt sein. Von Kreiskehren wird gesprochen, wenn die Streckenführung sich um mindestens 360° ändert und dabei die Strecke sich selbst kreuzt. Kreiskehrtunnel wurden häufiger gebaut als . (de)

  • 馬蹄彎是道路的一種爬行彎道,在拐點處翻轉兩次,最高可到達180度翻轉。 類似的彎道也可以在鐵路見到但常用於道路上. 因為其特色的U型彎道酷似馬蹄,故名為馬蹄彎。有些道路上的彎道,因為轉彎幅度過於狹小,故又有稱為髮夾彎的變種。 (zh)
