    This document contains an engineering document with questions about highway and traffic engineering. It includes: 1) An incomplete question asking about horizontal curves, how they are described, degrees of curvature, transition curves, and the purpose of superelevation. 2) A question calculating the minimum radius of curvature for a roadway with a 120km/h design speed and 0.12 maximum superelevation rate, and comparing it to AASHTO standards. 3) A blank for a third question. 4) A fourth question is also blank.

    Question )1(

    Complete:
    ❖ Horizontal curves are normally ………………….
    ❖ Horizontal curves are described by ……………………………
    ❖ Degree of curvature may be defined in two ways ……………………….
    ❖ Transition curves are used to connect tangents to …………………………….
    ❖ The purpose of superelevation or banking of curves is …………………………

    Question (2)

    What is the minimum radius of curvature allowable for a roadway with a120 km/h design
    speed, assuming that the maximum allowable superelevation rate is 0.12? Compare this
    with the minimum curve radius recommended by AASHTO.What is the actual maximum
    superelevation rate allowable under AASHTO
    recommended standards for a120 km/h design speed, if the value of f is the maximum
    allowed by AASHTO for this speed? Round the answer down to the nearest whole
    percent.
