Question: Two straight sections of freeway cross at a right angle. At the point of crossing, the east - west highway is at elevation 1 5

Two straight sections of freeway cross at a right angle. At the point of crossing, the east-west highway is at elevation 150 ft and has a constant +5.0% grade (upgrade in the east direction), and the north-south highway is at elevation 125 ft and has a constant -3.0% grade (downgrade in the north direction). Design a 90-degree ramp that connects the northbound direction of travel to the eastbound direction of travel. Design the ramp for the highest design speed (to nearest 5 mi/h) under urban setting with the constraint that the minimum allowable value of D is 8.0.(Assume that the PC of the horizontal curve is at station 15+00, and the vertical curve PVIs are at the PC and PT.) Give the stationing and elevations of the PC, PT, PVC1 & PVC2, and PVT1 & PVT2.
