This is a good question for Civil Engineers. When I'm driving, I see a lot of signs that state "6% grade ahead". Obviously that means you're going uphill or downhill but is there a formula for actually calculating what the grade is?How do i calculate the percentage of grade on a street?
Yes.
Slope = Difference in elevation / Distance
For example in 100' if the elevation rose 6'
Slope = 6' / 100' = .06
move the decimal 2 places to the right to get %
.06 = 6%
For a 6% grade, in 100' the road would either go up or
down 6'.
