A delivery truck passes thru the expressway exit ramps at a design velocity of 50 kph. connects with a local road to allow ram traffic to turn right without stopping at an acceleration of 1.57 m/sq.s. The turning roadway has stabilized shoulders on both sides and provides for a one-lane one-way operation with no provisions for a passing stalled vehicle. Super elevation on the turning roadway is 0.08. Determine the minimum radius of curvature for the ramp in meters.
