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.
