What is the highest possibledesign speed for the curve

Reference no: EM13309366

design a horizontal curve for atwo-lane road. The road has 12-ft lanes. Due toexpensive excavation, it is determined that a maximumof 34 ft can be cleared from the road's centerline toward the inside lane to provide for stopping sight distance. Also, local guidelines dictate a maximumsuperelevation of 0.08 ft/ft. What is the highest possibledesign speed for this curve?
