A two-lane minor road intersects a two-lane undivided major road at 90 degrees,
forming a four-leg intersection with traffic on the minor road controlled by a yield sign. A building is
located 50 m from the center line of the outside lane of the major road and 14 m from the center
line of the nearest lane of the minor road. A passenger car on the minor road would like to cross the
major road. Using the AASHTO procedure, determine the maximum speed that can be allowed on
the minor road if the design speed on the major road is 80 km/h. Assume a 3% approach grade for
the minor road.
Note: 1km/hr =0.62mi/h ,1ft =0.3048m
