The design speed for a two-lane road is 80 kmph When a design vehicle with a wheelbase of 6.6 m is negotiating a horizontal curve on that road, the off-tracking is measured as 0.096 m. The required widening of carriageway of the two-lane road on the curve is approximately: (a) 0.55 m (c)0.75 m (b) 0 65 m

Q- A road is provided with a horizontal circular curve having deflection angle of 55° and centre line radius of 250 m. A transition curve is to be provided at each end of the circular curve of such length that the rate of gain of radial acceleration is 0.3 m/s³ at a speed of 50 km per hour. Find the length of the transition curve required at each of the ends.
1. The stopping sight distance on a curved section of a road is 500 ft. The superelevation of the curve is 4.5%. The current radius of the curve is 900 ft. What should be the design speed on the curve? (Using AASHTO tables)
Please USE 3.0 instead of 2.5 for the rolling terrain. Thanks! 6.20 A divided multilane highway in a recreational area has four lanes (two lanes in each direction) and is on rolling terrain. The highway has 10-ft lanes with a 6-ft right-side shoulder and a 3-ft left-side shoulder. The posted speed is 50 mi/h. Previously, there were 4 access points per mile, but recent development has increased the number of access points to 12 per mile. Before development, the peak- hour factor was 0.95 and the directional hourly volume was 2200 vehicles with 13% heavy vehicles. After development, the peak-hour directional flow is 2600 vehicles with the same vehicle percentages and peak-hour factor. What is the level of service before and after the development?
Please answer question below and include all steps on how you got the answer
A vehicle travelling at design speed of 80 kmph on a descending gradient of 2.5% meets on ascending grade of 3%. Calculate the minimum length of vertical curve required (in meters) to facilitate smooth movement of vehicle considering head light sight distance of 100 m and assume that passenger is comfortable is all conditions,

A vehicle travels at a speed of 80km/hr on a straight section of a road. The driver keeps increasing the speed constantly. What is the role of the curves for a vehicle travelling along with one of the straights?
There is a need for conducting a design check for a horizontal curve (flat terrain) for an intermediate speed highway in rural Victoria. Given the design speed is 80kmph and superelevation is 7%. The provided horizontal curve radius is 700m. Would the designed curve radius will be sufficient to attain the superelevation? If not, what would be the correct radius for horizontal curve? When suggesting a new radius please check and make sure that the provide superelevation is higher (>7%) than required.
