Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions

Question 1 Easy

Calculate the SSD for a vehicle traveling at 50 km/h with a coefficient of friction of 0.37.

💡 Hint: Use the formula SSD = vt + (v² / 2gf).

Question 2 Easy

What is the maximum sight distance if it is determined that the vehicle needs to stop?

💡 Hint: Remember to include reaction time.

Question 1

What is the formula for Stopping Sight Distance (SSD)?

SSD = vt + v² / 2g
SSD = v² / (2gf)
SSD = vt + fg

💡 Hint: Remember that 'vt' accounts for the reaction time.

Question 2

True or False: OSD is only relevant for single-lane roads.

True
False

💡 Hint: Think about multi-lane roads and overtaking situations.
