2/108 The figure shows two possible paths for negotiating an unbanked turn on a horizontal portion of a race course. Path A-A follows the centerline of the road and has a radius of curvature PA = 85 m, while path B-B uses the width of the road to good advan- tage in increasing the radius of curvature to PB = 200 m.
