A horizontal curve on a four-lane (two lane in each direction) highway (11-ft lanes) has PC at station 124+30 and PT at station 130 + 15. The central angle is 40 degrees, the superelevation is 0.12, and 23.5 ft is cleared (for sight distance) from the inside edge of the innermost lane. Determine a maximum safe speed (assuming current design standards) to the nearest 5 mi/h.
A horizontal curve is being designed to connect two tangents that intersect on a rural collector road with a specified design volume of 2500 veh/day (i.c. design speed 60 mph). It is expected that, because of right-of-way restriction, a large billboard will be placed at a distance of 50 ft from the centerline of the inside lane. If the terrain can be described as level and only a minimal amount of snow is expected on the road, determine the minimum radius of curve. Assume maximum superelevation rate (e) of 0.1 and fs=0.12.

A vertical curve is needed to join to tangents; G₁=1% and G2-4%. Assuming a level grade (0%) for braking, and the AASHTO recommended values for deceleration and perception-reaction time, calculate the minimum length of curve (ft) needed to satisfy the safety criteria. The design speed is 60 mph. Response Feedback: G2-G₁ is positive, therefore a sag curve. A=3 SSD(0%)=565.5 ft If you assume SL, Lmin-340 ft. SSD is greater than Lmin. The assumption is good.
