A horizontal curve on a two-lane highway is designed with a 610-m radius, 3.5-m lanes, and 80 kph design speed. Determine the distance that must be cleared from the inside edge of the inner lane to provide sufficient stopping sight distance. (Note: Curve radius is typically reckoned from the centerline of the roadway, and driver location is assumed to be at the middle of the travelled lane.) Assume coefficient of friction as 0.35. Answer: M = 4.0 m
