A +2% grade intersects with a -1% grade at station (535-24.25) at an elevation of 300 ft. If the design speed is 60 mi/h, determine: (a) the minimum length of vertical curve using the rate of vertical curvature Then, using the length found in part (a). (b) the stations and elevations of the BVC and EVC. (d) the station and elevation of the highpoint.
