While designing a rural road for the Safe Stopping sight Distance (SSD) for the design vehicle with an operating speed of 85 km/h, the design team (comprising Team leader, Design Engineer, Technician, Traffic Engineer, Surveyor and other team members) needs to consider the road segment to be an unsealed up-grade road with longitudinal slope 3% and reaction time is 2.5 s. How much safe stopping sight distance is required for that road section?
