For Highways centrifugal ratio (v^2/gr) = 1/4 = 0.25.
Maximum superelevation should be 1/4 for comfortable ride.
For Railways Centrifugal ratio should be 1/8 = 0.125.

Can anyone explain this centrifugal ratio?

Centrifugal force P = MV^2/R,
We know W = Mg, P/W = V^2/R.
Where, P/W is called centrifugal ratio or impact factor.

What is the significance of the impact factor/centrifugal ratio?

But it should not exceed lateral friction (.15), considering lateral skidding at curves.
