- HI CAN YOU HELP ME WITH MY ASSIGNMENT. PLEASE WRITE IT PROPERLY, DONT TYPE IT. *TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING* A tow truck is searching a city street at 40 mi/h for illegally parked vehicles. It travels over an equal tangent vertical curve with an initial grade of +4.0% and final grade of 2.0%. If the height of the driver's eye is 6.0 ft and the driver spots a car 450 ft away with a height of 4.0 ft, what is the minimum length of the vertical curve for this situation?arrow_forwardDescribe why the sightline for electronic distance measurement should be at least 0.5 m off the surface of the pavement along its entire line of sight.arrow_forwardDraw a clover leaf interchange that uses arrows to indicate all the traffic movementsarrow_forward
