Question 1.
What is the definition of tangent length in the context of highway design?
Show hintHide hint
Think about where the curve connects to the straights.
Question 2.
Describe deflection angle.
Show hintHide hint
It guides how the tangents meet before curving.
3Question 3.
What does the tangent length refer to in highway planning?
- Distance to the curve entrance
- Distance to the curve exit
- Distance to midpoint
Show hintHide hint
Think of it as a lead into the curve.
4Question 4.
True or False: The deflection angle is only important for defining circular curves.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider its relevance beyond just circular curves.
Question 5.
A highway curve has a radius of 750 m and a deflection angle of 15°. Calculate the tangent lengths, circular length, and provide chainages if the intersection point is at 2000 m.

Make sure to check your angle conversion!
Question 6.
If a road with a 900 m radius curve is being redesigned with a deflection angle of 18°, calculate all necessary data required for setting it out properly.
