Question
A two-lane minor road intersects a two-lane undivided major road at 90 degrees,
forming a four-leg intersection with traffic on the minor road controlled by a yield sign. A building is
located 185ft from the center line of the outside lane of the major road. The design speed on the
major road is 60 mi/h and the design speed on the minor is 35 mi/h. The approach grade on the minor
road is 3%. A passenger car on the minor road would like to cross the major road. Using the
AASHTO procedure, determine the minimum distance required that the building must be from the
nearest lane on the minor road
