Anshu said:   9 years ago
150 < 300 so extra widening is provided.

Bappa said:   9 years ago
As the radius 150 less than 300m, so widening of curves provide by.0.6m (when r=101 to 300) for two lane. So given answer is wrong.

Extra widening of single lane pavements is 'Nil' for radius 101 to 300.

Provision of extra widening is nil, for a single lane of radius greater than 60m and for two-lane greater than 300 m.

Madhu said:   8 years ago
For single lane road r>100 , extra widening=0
For double lane road r>300, extra widening=0

In question, they have not mentioned whether it is a single lane or double lane road. so the question is contradictory.

150 lies between 5>R>300, so EW provide in both side.
