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.
