A horizontal curve is designed for a four-lane highway (lane width=10ft.). The central angel is 40 degrees. The PIA transportation engineer is designing a horizontal curve for a 2-lane highway (lane width=10ft), with a 50 degree
central angel. The design speed is 60mph and supperelevation is 6%. What is the radius (R), and length of the curve
(L)? What is the length of the tangent (T)?
point is at 2600+00 and the tangent distance is equal to 520ft. The side friction factor is 0.08 and superelevation is
9%. What is the stationing of PC and PT? and what is the safe vehicle speed?
A horizontal curve is designed for a four - lane
