A simple highway curve is planned to connect two horizontal


A simple highway curve is planned to connect two horizontal tangents that intersect at sta. 2500+00.00 at an external angle of 52°.  For a design speed of 60 mi/h and a curve radius of about 1.25 times the minimum allowable, calculate (a) the design rate of superelevation and (b) the required length of superelevation runoff.  Assume a four lane undivided highway and 10-ft lanes.  Clearly state any other assumptions that you think are needed.
