Without posting the entire problem, this is a basic intersection sight distance problem. Case 'A' intersection with no control, building on the corner .... solve for db and pull that distance off the Green Book chart to determine the posted speed limit of the intersecting roadway.
The solution for db is 87.4 ft, which agrees with the solution in the book.
I feel the posted speed limit should be 15mph, not 20 mph ...... as 15 mph give you the required 70-foot approach leg, whereas 20 mph requires 90 feet.
What are your thoughts??
