A crest vertical curve joins two gradients of +3% and –2% for a design speed of 80 km/h and the corresponding stopping sight distance of 120 m.The height of driver’s eye and the object above the road surface are 1.20 m and 0.15 m respectively. The curve length (which is less than stopping sight distance) to be provided is
-
- 120 m
- 152 m
- 163 m
- 240 m
Correct Option: B
When L < SSD
L = 2s - | ||
