As Airpont Street enters Amman, it has six 12-foot lanes with 4-foot inner shouldes Unfortunately, it is also flat a horizontal curve with a tadius of 1400 feet. The speed linit is 60 mph. The sign nceds to be placed at a distance (d) from the inner shoulder wand the center of the curve so as to avoid potential stopping sight distance problems.(f-0.35, PRT-27s

Explanation / Answer

4 elements based on which the highway location is seleced:

1)length of the road between the the two terminal points should be minimum.

2)topgraphy of the survey should also be considered i.e number of curves and eathwork should be minimum.

no.of cross drainage elements should be minimum

connect as many villags ,cities as possible.

3)the measurment of distance and elevations by using devices located above the earthsuch as airplanesor orbititng satellitesusing Global Positioning Satellite System is called as aerial survey.by using this survey the topography of the land is determined and also the type of land.

4)the plan of a highway shows the horizontal alignment the horizontal alignment includes the horizontal curve and tangents,i.e the alignment which shows the top view and its route is known as its plan.

5) the profile of the highway shows the vertical aspects of the highway such as vertical curves and sag curve.

6)given data:

speed of the car v = 50mph

car at station 43+70 and saw accident,f=0.3478.

stopping PRT ,he starts his breaks at station =

dprt = 0.278*V*t

where V = speed in mph and t= perception reaction time of a driver and it is equal to 2.5 sec.

dprt = 0.278*50*2.5 = 34.75 ft

hence he will starts breaks at station 43+70+34.75ft =44+047 ft(1 full station = 100ft)

7)station at which 30mph after application of breaks:

DMT = 1.075*V2/a

where DMT = breaking distance

V = design speed 30 mph

a = decceleration 11.2 ft2/sec

DMT = 1.075*302/11.2 = 86.38ft
