Determine: (i) the upper and lower values or speed limits for installing speed regulation signs

at this road stretch and (ii) the design speed for checking the geometric design elements of the

highway.

3. Write short notes on: (a) Traffic separators (b) Kerbs (c) Road margins (d) Pavement

unevenness (e) Camber (f) Right of way (g) Width of formation.

4. (a) Find the stopping sight distance for a design speed of 65 kmph. Assume suitable data as

per IRC recommendations. What are sight distance requirements for descending gradient of

2%?

(b) Calculate the minimum sight distance required to avoid head-on-collision of two cars

approaching from the opposite directions at 90 and 60 kmph. Assume a reaction time of 2.5

seconds, coefficient of friction of 0.7 and a brake efficiency of 50 percent, in both the cases.

5. Explain spot speed, running speed, space mean speed, time mean speed and average speed.

6. The speeds of overtaking and overtaken vehicle are 80 and 60 kmph respectively. If the

acceleration of the overtaking vehicle is 2.5 kmph per second,

(a) calculate the safe overtaking sight distance

(b) what is the minimum length of overtaking zone?

(c) Draw the minimum length of overtaking zone and show the positions of sign post.
