Q-A road is provided with a horizontal circular curve having deflection angle of 55° and centre line radius of 250 m. A transition curve is to be provided at each end of the circular curve of such lengt that the rate of gain of radial acceleration is 0.3 m/s³ at a speed of 50 km per hour. Find the length the transition curve required at each of the ends.
