2% and + 4% which intersects at station
2+020m. If the stopping sight distance is equal
to 145m, compute:
=
a.The max. speed that a vehicle could move
to avoid collision if PIEV time of the driver is
2.4 sec. and ave. skid resistance is 0.25.
b.The length of the curve.
c.The location (from PT), station, and
elevation of the highest point in the curve if
P.T. is at elevation 20.2 m amsl.
