A vertical crest curve on a single carriageway road with a design speed of 100km/h is to be built in order to join as ascending grade of 3% with a descending grade of 3%. The motorist’s eye height is assumed to be 1.05m while the object height is assumed to be 0.26m. 1. Calculate the minimum curve length required in order to satisfy the requirement of minimum sight stopping distance. 2. Recalculate the minimum curve length with the object height assumed to be zero. 3. Recalculate the minimum curve length assuming a design speed of 70km/h.

A minor road intersects a major 4-lane divided road with a
design speed of 55mph and a median width of 8 feet. The
intersection is controlled with a stop sign on the minor road. If
the design vehicle is a passenger car, determine the minimum sight
distance required on the major road that will allow a stopped
vehicle on the minor road to safely turn left if the approach grade
on the minor road is 3%.

ou are asked to design a horizontal curve for a two-lane road.
The road has 12-ft lanes. Due to expensive excavation, it is
determined that a maximum of 35 ft can be cleared from the road’s
centerline toward the inside lane to provide for stopping sight
distance. Also, local guidelines dictate a maximum superelevation
of 0.08 ft/ft.
Determine the design speed for this curve (mph)?

Question 4 4.1 A 2-lane road has a circular curve with a radius
of 210 m, curve length of 300 m. The lane width and shoulder width
are 3.6 and 1.8 m, respectively. The design speed on the road

minimum acceptable distance of a building structure from the edge
of the road. (4)

3.40 A crest and sag curve connect a 0% west highway
segment (left) with a +2% east highway segment
(right). The 0% west highway segment is at a higher
elevation than the start of the +2% east highway
segment. The two vertical curves connect with each
other (PVTc = PVCs) and share a 3% common grade.
If the design speed of the curves is 45 mi/h, what is the
elevation difference between the two road segments?

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....
