Question 1
Your road design includes a valley curve with an estimated sight distance of 80m and a deviation angle of 4m. Calculate L and analyze its implications on road safety.
💡 Hint: Be mindful of the total curve extent.
Question 2
A rural road design shows a valley curve length of 100m while SSD required is 90m. Discuss potential safety issues with this design.
💡 Hint: Consider factors like speed limits and gradient changes.
