3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is the stopping sight distance (SSD) for a vehicle traveling at 30 km/h with a reaction time of 1.5 seconds?
Consider converting km/h to m/s for your calculations.
Define overtaking sight distance (OSD).
Think about the space required to maneuver without opposing traffic hazards.
What is the stopping sight distance for a vehicle traveling at 60 km/h under normal conditions?
Consider the relationship between speed and the required stopping distance.
True or False: Overtaking sight distance is less significant than stopping sight distance in road design.
Think about the importance of visibility when overtaking another vehicle.
Calculate the SSD for a vehicle going up a gradient of 5% at 70 km/h. Include considerations for reduction in distance due to gradient.
Consider how the upward slope aids braking distance.
You are designing a road where vehicles will often reach 90 km/h, what would you recommend for the OSD based on current standards? Provide reasoning for your decision.
Look into recommended distances for overtaking safely at high speeds.
