Q- At a horizontal curve portion of a 4 lane undivided carriageway, a transition curve is to be introduced to attain required superelevation. The design speed is 60 kmph and radius of the curve is 245 m. Assume length of wheel base of the longest vehicle as 6 m, superelevation rate as 5% and rate of introduction of this superelevation as 1 in 150. The length of the transition curve (m) required, if the pavement is rotated about inner edge is:
