Problem 1 The following curve data describes the centerline of a certain two-lane highway: Da= 9°30'; PI Sta. 13+00. The lanes are 12-feet wide and a continuous wall approximately 6-feet high is located along the inside of the curve, exactly 25.6 ft from the center of the highway. Based on this data, what should be the maximum safe design speed of this highway?

You are going to design a circular curve in a rural road segment where the design vehicleis a passenger car of operation speed is 90 km/h. The width of the lanes of the proposedroad is 3.5m. Based on a survey at the proposed site, it has been found that a multi-storiedbuilding is located towards the inside of the curve at 10 m from the centerline of thehighway. Considering perception reaction time as 2.5 s design the horizontal curve (Rdesign,edesign and fdesign) for that road segment. Record the radius and respective safe sight distancein the tabular format while selecting design radius (word table), plot them in Excel graphand find the Rdesignfor the safe sight distance.
