Question
The centerline of a portion for a proposed highway extension project is composed of four simple curves.
These curves are connected to each other such that the first, second and third curve forms a compound
curve, while the third and the fourth curve forms a reverse curve with diverging tangents. The compound
curve is tangent to the lines AB, BC. CD & DE while the reverse curve is tangent to lines DE and EF. Point
B is at Sta. 10+000.
