•An engineer is looking to determine the PI of a horizontal curve along a highway segment comprised of an equal-tangent sag curve and the horizontal curve with the same design speed. The horizontal curve has a superelevation of 8%, central angle of 30 degrees and a PT at Station 302 + 20. The road has two 11-ft lanes (one in each direction). As for the sag vertical curve, it is known that its initial grade is –1.8% and a positive final grade that is not known. The station of the PVC is 232 + 70 and the station of the low point of the sag vertical curve is 235 + 14.8.
