In example embodiments, a superelevation tool extracts and displays superelevation data from a 3D roadway model by accessing roadway meshes and a horizonal alignment from the 3D roadway model, extracting a plurality of template drops from the one or more roadway meshes at locations along the horizonal alignment to produce an ordered list of template drops and processing the template drops of the ordered list to identify top-facing roadway edges in each template drop that represent top pavement surface of the roadway at the location of the template drop, iteratively searching for a superelevation candidate and detecting superelevation data from the superelevation candidate at least in part by comparing cross-slopes of the top-facing roadway edges of consecutive template drops in the ordered list, wherein a superelevation candidate includes at least two or more template drops having cross-slopes that are locked, and providing a visualization of the detected superelevation data.
