A developer is having a single-lane raceway constructed with a 180 km/h design speed. A curve on the raceway has a radius of 320 m, a central angle (D) of 30 degrees, and PI stationing at 11+511.200. If the design coefficient of side friction is 0.20, determine the superelevation required at the design speed? Make sure you use the exact equation for R and not the approximate equation for R. Include a discussion (a short paragraph) of why this important. Also, compute the length of curve and stationing of the PC and PT.

A two-lane highway with a design speed of 106.7 km/h requires a transition curve for a horizontal curve of 550 m radius. The curve is used to connect the tangents that form an external angle of 24 degree. The lanes of the highway are 3.65 m wide and the coefficient of side friction for this design speed is 0.11. The change of grade between the centreline and the edge (i.e. Δg) is limited to 1 over 250 for comfort. Calculate...
