Why this matters

Two-way ramps save plot area by combining up and down traffic into one ramp. 6.0 m is the minimum that lets two cars pass on the slope without one yielding.

Typical practice

Used when site constraints don't allow separate up and down ramps. Always paired with strict one-way signage at the top and bottom approaches to prevent collisions on the slope.
