As per IRC if r>300 then no need to provide extra widening.
If r<50 then extra widening provided on only one side.
And if 'r' is 8n between 50 to 300m then extra widening provided on both sides.

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.

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

FOR SINGLE LANE ROAD R>100 Ew=0.
FOR TWO LANE ROAD R>300 Ew=0.

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

r > 300 there is no need extra widening.

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.
