Gradient

1) The degree of slope of a road. Measured and indicated either as a factor against 1 (ie 1 in 6.25 gradient) or as a percentage (ie 16 per cent = 1 in 6.25; 12 per cent = 1 in 8.33). Relevant in transport terms as a standard against which vehicle handbrake efficiency is measured (ie the ability of the brake to hold the vehicle or vehicle/trailer combination on such gradient).
