What is a "gradient"?
A gradient refers to the degree of incline or slope of a road, path, or surface. It is the measure of how steep or gentle a slope is, often expressed as a percentage or ratio. A higher gradient indicates a steeper slope, while a lower gradient means a gentler incline. Gradients are important for understanding how challenging a road or path may be for travel, especially for vehicles, cyclists, or hikers. Steeper gradients can require more effort to ascend and can affect the control and safety of movement.
