Problem 7.20 Page 363
A developer has requested permission to build a large retail
store at a location adjacent to the intersection of an undivided
four-lane major road and a two-lane minor road. Traffic on the
minor road is controlled by a stop sign. The speed limits are 56
and 80 km/h on the minor and major roads, respectively. The
building is to be located at a distance of 19.8 m from the near
lane of one of the approaches of the minor road. Determine where
the building should be located relative to the centerline of the
outside lane of the major road in order to provide adequate sight
distance for a driver on the minor road to turn right onto the
major road after stopping at the stop line. Design vehicle is a
single-unit truck. Lanes on the both roadways are 3.6 m wide.
Grades are approximately level.
