An equal-tangent curve connects a +1.0% and a -0.5% grade. The PVC is at station 54+24 and the PVI is at station 56+92. Is this curve long enough to provide passing sight distance for a 60-mi/r design speed? Problem 2
A sag vertical curve joins a -6% grade and +5% grades. If the PVI of the grades is at Station 355+50 and at an elevation of 156 ft., determine the station and elevation of the PVC, PVT, and the low point for a design speed of 60 mph. Sketch the curve and label the PVI, PVC, PVT and the low point with their stations and elevations. Note: You should check the stopping sight distance criterion and riding comfort design criteria, using the one that controls. 2.
