1. On a two lane and two-way roadway vehicle-A is travelling at the design speed of 90 km/h. Vehicle-B wishes to overtake vehicle-A. The acceleration capability of vehicle-B is 1.4 m/s². Length of vehicle-A is 25 m. Another vehicle -C is approaching from the opposite direction at 90 km/h. Leave a safety distance of 60 m with vehicle-C after the takeover. What should be the minimum passing sight distance if the reaction time is 1 seconds? Hint: estimate the following distance by using the reaction time.
