  1. 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
    1. 120 m
    2. 152 m
    3. 163 m
    4. 240 m
Correct Option: B

When L < SSD

L = 2s -
(√2H + √2h
N

= 2 × 120 -
2 × 120 + √2 × 0.15
= 152 m
0.05
