Question

Same situation as provided in the question in the image shared. Suppose the spiral curve is determined to be 230 ft. Normal crown rate holds at 2.5%. 

  1. Design the superelevation transition (in other words, find the stations of A, B, C, and D on both sides of the circular curve).
  2. Find the cross slope (slope of the cross section) at station 478+00, station 477+00, and station 476+00.
3.35 A horizontal curve on a two-lane highway (10-ft
lanes) is designed for 50 mi/h with a 6% superelevation.
The central angle of the curve is 35 degrees and the PI
is at station 482 + 72. What is the station of the PT and
how many feet have to be cleared from the lane's
shoulder edge to provide adequate stopping sight
distance?
