A two-lane minor road intersects a two-lane undivided major road at 90 degrees,
forming a four-leg intersection with traffic on the minor road controlled by a yield sign. A building is
located 185ft from the center line of the outside lane of the major road. The design speed on the
major road is 60 mi/h and the design speed on the minor is 35 mi/h. The approach grade on the minor
road is 3%. A passenger car on the minor road would like to cross the major road. Using the
AASHTO procedure, determine the minimum distance required that the building must be from the
