Intersection Design

An intersection is a location where two or more roads or railways meet or join. The traffic movement is controlled at the intersection that depends on its design and type. It governs the operation, efficiency, speed, capacity, and safety of the highways, airways, and railways. The movement of the pedestrian causes hazards and delays at the intersection.

A car is traveling at 76 mi/hr down a 3% grade on poor, wet pavement. The car's braking efficiency is 90%. The brakes were applied 320 ft before impacting an object. The car had an antilock braking system, but the system failed 200ft after the brakes had been applied (wheels locked). What speed was the car traveling at just before it impacted the object?
