This is only psychological widening.

Here not clearly mention what we have to actually determine. Therefore answer should be (D).
Correct answer would be Mechanical + psychological widening = 0.811 m.
Correct answer would be Mechanical + psychological widening = 0.811 m.

Here, W =nL^2/2R.

I think the answer is A because for single lane.
Wpsy =0.
Wpsy =0.

X= (18n/R)+(0.1+V/ -^R).
n = No. Of lanes,
R = Radius,
V= speed of vehicle.
n = No. Of lanes,
R = Radius,
V= speed of vehicle.

I think the Total widening is L2/2R+V2/9.5*rutR.

R<50 m Provide Extra widening on the inner side.
50m<R<300m Provide Extra widening both sides of Curve.
Here;
V/(9.58*√R).
V=50kmph,
R=80m,
than put value.
50/(9.5*√80)= .588m.
50m<R<300m Provide Extra widening both sides of Curve.
Here;
V/(9.58*√R).
V=50kmph,
R=80m,
than put value.
50/(9.5*√80)= .588m.

Psychological widening : At horizontal curves, drivers have a tendency to maintain a greater clearance between the vehicles than on straight stretches of road. Therefore an extra width of pavement is provided for psychological reasons for greater manoeuvrability of steering at higher speeds and to allow for the extra space requirements for the overhangs of vehicles.

Option B is the correct answer.
l^2/2R + V/9.5""R.
0.6^2/2*80 +50/9.5""80 =0.59 answer.
l^2/2R + V/9.5""R.
0.6^2/2*80 +50/9.5""80 =0.59 answer.
