Question: A sag vertical curve connects a 3 % grade with a + 2 . 5 % grade on a rural arterial highway. The grades intersect

A sag vertical curve connects a 3% grade with a +2.5% grade on a rural arterial highway.
The grades intersect at station (220+000m) at an elevation of 100 m. If the criterion selected for design
is the minimum stopping sight distance and the design speed of the highway is 80 km/h, compute:
the station and elevation of the BVC and EVC
the station and elevation of the low point of the curve
the elevation of the curve at 25m before station PVI
