Design a vertical curve (i.e., Determine length of the curve as well as station and elevation of the vertical curve’s PVC and PVT) with the given PVI (station and elevation given the figure below) to go through a future intersection location at the point at which the vertical curve is flat. Report the vertical curve’s design speed to the nearest 5 miles per hour.
