Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Calculate the SSD for a vehicle going up a gradient of 5% at 70 km/h. Include considerations for reduction in distance due to gradient.

💡 Hint: Consider how the upward slope aids braking distance.

Question 2

You are designing a road where vehicles will often reach 90 km/h, what would you recommend for the OSD based on current standards? Provide reasoning for your decision.

💡 Hint: Look into recommended distances for overtaking safely at high speeds.
