For horizontal alignments:
Spirals are used to connect straights and curves. A full spiral has an infinite
radius at its start or end point whereas a partial has a finite radius at its start
and end point.
In. Radius at the start point is bigger than at the end point.
Out. Radius at the start point is smaller than at the end point.
