An old equal-tangent crest vertical curve was designed with a PVI at station 117+45 and elevation of 960 ft., and a PVC at station 110 + 85 and elevation of 927 ft. If the highest point on the curve is at station 117 + 65, what is the maximum safe design speed for this curve? (explore and report your answer in 5 mph increment) [hint: Use design tables. But this time, find the speed based on K]
