Roadway Geometric Design: sag vertical curve
k sag 75 to k sag 80
AASHTO Green Book 7th Edition (2018) roadway geometric design standards — stopping sight distance (15–80 mph), passing sight distance (20–70 mph), minimum horizontal curve radius by design speed and emax (4%/6%/8%), K-values for crest and sag vertical curves (25–80 mph), maximum grade limits by terrain type (level/rolling/mountainous) and road class (freeway/arterial/collector/local), superelevation standards, lane and shoulder width standards, and design vehicle dimensions (P, SU, WB-40, WB-62, WB-67).
