A banked turn (or banking turn) is a turn or change of direction in which the vehicle banks or inclines, usually towards the inside of the turn.For a road or railroad this is usually due to the roadbed having a transverse down-slope towards the inside of the curve.
A wave turn, commonly found on Rocky Mountain Construction roller coasters, is a 90-degree banked turn that incorporates a small camelback hill. [20] The airtime feature separates wave turns from typical banked turns. [20] When a train banks either right or left into an inclined turn, it traverses an airtime hill while banked at 90 degrees.

In curved railway tracks, the outer rail is elevated, providing a banked turn. This allows trains to navigate curves at higher speeds and reduces the pressure of the wheel flanges against the rails, minimizing friction and wear. The difference in elevation between the outer and inner rails is referred to as cant in most countries.
NASCAR is famous for speed, and that speed wouldn‘t be possible if not for the banked turns. Banked turns keep NASCAR drivers safe and driving faster. How NASCAR's banked turns help cars go faster
A pilot in a Cessna 152 performing a steep turn as seen from the cockpit. Notice how the wing is heavily banked. A steep turn in aviation, performed by an aircraft (usually fixed wing), is a turn that involves a bank of more than 30 degrees. This means the angle created by the axis running along both wings and the horizon is more than 30 degrees.
The pilot was alone in the plane.
Even at the neutral speed, in a banked turn a car runs a bit heavier than it would in a straight line, since the downforce created by the banking increases the rolling resistance on the tires. The neutral speed for the four car/motorcycle lanes are: [3] Lane 1 – 100 km/h (62 mph) Lane 2 – 140 km/h (87 mph) Lane 3 – 190 km/h (118 mph)
Circuits like Milwaukee Mile and Indianapolis Motor Speedway have 9° banking in the turns and are considered low banked, superspeedways like Talladega have up to 33° of tilt in curves, Daytona has up to 32°, both are considered high banked. Atlanta is the intermediate track with the highest banking, 28°.
