b) Figure 2 indicates the layout of the unsignalised intersection between a major road and a minor road. If the stopping sight distance of vehicle ‘A’ on the minor road is 60m at a speed of 50km/h and that of vehicle ‘B’ on the major road is 80m at a speed of 60km/h, determine the adequacy of the intersection sight distance provided that will ensure that vehicle ‘A’ safely crosses the major road without colliding with vehicle ‘B’. The distance of vehicle ‘A’ to the building is 15m represented by ‘x’ in the figure.
