Question 1
A road layout needing to connect two straights, has a PI of 2000 m with a deflection angle of 72°. Calculate the tangent and curve lengths required to set this out using a radius of 80 m.
💡 Hint: Use the formulas correctly to derive each component.
Question 2
Considering a deflection angle of 90° and a radius of 100 m, calculate the offsets and the positions of pegs every 10 m along a 33 m curve.
💡 Hint: Use the offset calculations learned in the section for each step.
