Please help with this question.Thanks. A 3% grade on a principal arterial road intersects with a -2% grade at station 355+54.5 at anelevation of 323 ft. If the design speed of the road is 60 mi/hr, determine the stations and elevationsof the BVC [same as PVC] and EVC [same as PVT], as well as the station and elevation of thehigh point.

Determine the stationing for the following points: ENC, LC, PC, BFS, EFS, PT, LC, and ENC in a row given a horizontal curve with 37° intersecting angle on a two-lane highway with 12-ft lanes and a 55-mph design speed with a designated maximum superelevation of 6%. The radius for the horizontal curve has been set to 1060-ft. The Pl is located at station 152+03.44 and the highway has a constant 2.1% normal crown. Locate each point with its stationing on the drawing below. PI = 152+03.44 Not to scale
A roadway has a design speed of 50 mi/h, and at station 105 + 00 a +3.0% grade roadway ection ends and at station 125 + 00 a+2.0% grade roadway section begins. The +3.0% grade section of highway (at station 105 + 00) is at a higher elevation than the +2.0% grade section of highway (at station 125 + 00). If a -4%constant-grade section is used to connect the crest and sag vertical curves that are needed to link the +3.0 and+2.0% grade sections, what is the elevation difference between stations 105 + 00 and 125 + 00? (The entire alignment, crest and sag curves, and constant-grade section must fit between stations 105 + 00 and 125 +00.)
A two-lane minor road intersects a two-lane undivided major road at 90 degrees,forming a four-leg intersection with traffic on the minor road controlled by a yield sign. A building islocated 185ft from the center line of the outside lane of the major road. The design speed on themajor road is 60 mi/h and the design speed on the minor is 35 mi/h. The approach grade on the minorroad is 3%. A passenger car on the minor road would like to cross the major road. Using theAASHTO procedure, determine the minimum distance required that the building must be from thenearest lane on the minor road
A +2 percent grade on an arterial highway intersects with a -1 percent grade at station (535+24.25) at an elevation of 300 ft. If the design speed of the highway is 65 mi/h, determine the stations and elevations of the BVC and EVC, and the elevation of each 100-ft station. Use L = KA to find minimum curve length for this problem.
