Question 2
The maximum speed of a vehicle on a 4º curve having arc length 30 m is limited to 60 kmph. Calculate the
psychological widening required on the curve.
Problem 5
An existing horizontal curve on a highway has a radius of 465 ft, which restricts the posted speed limit to
only 61.5% of the design speed on this section of the highway. If the curve is to be improved, so that its
posted speed will be the design speed of the highway, determine the minimum radius of the new curve.
Assume that the rate of superelevation is 0.08 for both the existing curve and the new curve to be
designed and f,=0.16 for 40 mph, 0.14 for 50 mph, 0.12 for 60 mph, and 0.10 for 70 mph.
Problem # 3
