  1. Design rate of super elevation for horizontal highway curve of radius 450 m for a mixed traffic condition, having a speed of 125 km/hour is
    1. 1.0
    2. 0.05
    3. 0.07
    4. 0.154
Correct Option: D

For mixed traffic,

e =
(0.75V)2
; V in m / s
gR

Design speed = 125 kmph
= 125 ×
5
= 34.7 m /s
18

e =
(0.7V)2
gR

=
(0.75 × 34.7)2
= 0.154
9.81 × 450
