... I'm not a Physics master.
there has to be a centripetal force for things to travel curved paths. otherwise they travel in a straight line... If you bank a curved road, then you are using the Normal force to produce some or all of the required centripetal force...
If you didn't bank the roadway, you'd be relying entirely on the friction between the tires and the road to provide a centripetal force... and it's not a very predictable force. it changes with road conditions, tire conditions, etc.
Oh yes, gotcha.
