A 6' simple curve connects two tangents that intersect at an angle of 42". If the PC which is at station 26 + 179.55 is to be retained and a 4' curve is to connect the first curve with the second tangent that is shifted 20 meters to a parallel position outward. Use arc basis. Determine: 1. Stationing of old PT. 2. Stationing of the PCC. 3. Stationing of the new PT.
