A 7.0m wide (3.5m lanes) two-way two-lane (TWTL) rural road curves around an obstruction (vegetation). Determine the minimum offset, from the centre of the inside lane to the obstruction, to satisfy the stopping sight distance requirements if the design speed is 90km/hr and the curve radius is 425m. Note: Assume that the sight distance is less than the length of the circular curve. Any other assumptions should be clearly stated.

Question
A 7.0m wide (3.5m lanes) two-way two-lane (TWTL) rural road curves around an
obstruction (vegetation). Determine the minimum offset, from the centre of the inside lane to
the obstruction, to satisfy the stopping sight distance requirements if the design speed is 90km/hr and the curve radius is 425m. Note: Assume that the sight distance is less than the
length of the circular curve. Any other assumptions should be clearly stated.
