A horizontal curve has a design speed limit of 45 mph (66 ft/s). What is the SSD in ft? This horizontal curve has two lanes. The radius, measured to the centerline, is 1200 ft. The lane width is 14 ft. Calculate M (from the center of the right lane). The DOT receives an application to put a big sign on the right-hand side of this curve. How far this sign must be from the right edge of the right lane?
