What will be the ruling radius of a horizontal curve on a National Highway for a design vehicle speed of 100 km/h, assuming allowable super elevation to be 7 % and lateral friction as 0.13 ?
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. Ans: 1090 ft
Design speed of a six-lane undivided highway is 70 mph. A circular section of the highway has level grade, 10-ft wide lane, and the radius of the highway centerline is 1000 ft.

A new highway is designed to join a crest curve with +1.0% and -0.5% grades for PVC and PVT, respectively. Knowing that the stations of PVC and PVI are STA 51+25 and STA 56+90, examine whether or not the curve is long enough to provide passing sight distance when the design speed is 60mi/h.
There is a need for conducting a design check for a horizontal curve (flat terrain) for an intermediate speed highway in rural Victoria. Given the design speed is 80kmph and superelevation is 7%. The provided horizontal curve radius is 700m. Would the designed curve radius will be sufficient to attain the superelevation? If not, what would be the correct radius for horizontal curve? When suggesting a new radius please check and make sure that the provide superelevation is higher (>7%) than required.
