Question
A road is provided with a horizontal circular curve having deflection angle of 55� and centre line radius of 250 m. A transition curve is to be provided at each end of the circular curve of such a length that the rate of gain of radial acceleration is 0.3 m/s³ at a speed of 50 km per hour. Length of the transition curve required at each of the ends is
Options
A. 2.57 m
B. 33.33 m
C. 35.73 m
D. 1666.67 m

Correct Answer

35.73 m
