Problem 1. Due to cost and right-of-way constraints, Rv is determined to be 890 ft. Superelevation is 12%. What is the design speed? (As you have recalled from class, design speed is the highest speed at which one can drive under desirable weather conditions. Design speed is expressed in an increment of 5 mph.)
