Question: Design the horizontal alignment to connect two parallel streets with a reverse curve. The horizontal transition length ( d ) is 1 7 5 feet,

Design the horizontal alignment to connect two parallel streets with a reverse curve. The horizontal transition length (d) is 175 feet, while the offset (h1) between the two streets is 65 feet and the deflection angle is 48. The design speed needs to be 30mph, and the superelevation rate 2%. Determine the minimum radius, tangent and length of the two curves, and the stations for all of the horizontal points of curvature. Begin at STA 10+00 at the first point of curvature (PC1)
