The point where the alignment changes from a straight line or tangent to a circular curve is called as-
Point of curvature
Based on the standard terminology in highway design, this specific point is known as the Point of Curvature. The point where Tangent 1 meets the beginning of the Circular Curve is the Point of Curvature (PC).
