Question

 Consider the same vertical curve from Problem 1 that has a +3.2% initial grade and -1.1% final grade. The point of vertical intersection is at station 98+20. The highest point of the curve is at station 100+79.35 to meet drainage design. What is the station of the point of vertical curvature (Also known as beginning of vertical curve).

    1. 92+88.95
    2. 92+90.81
    3. 92+88.05 (INCORRECT)
    4. 92+91.23

This is Question 1: 

  1. Consider a vertical curve with a +3/2% initial grade and -1.1% final grade. The point of vertical intersection is at station 98+20. The highest point of the curve is at station 100+79.35 to meet drainage design. What is the design speed, in mph?
    1. Correct answer here is 70 MPH
