breadth problem 6 in chapter 80... can anybody explain the solution to this problem that the book gives?
i have little exp in stakeouts which is maybe the reason why i don't get why they only add the length of the tangent to the intersection of the 2 centerlines to get the station to put the stakeout. to me, if this was a different problem and the width of the minor road was a lot wider, then the station where they put the stakeout would just be some random point.
why don't they take into account the additional length added by the width of the intersecting road to place the stakeout at the station perpendicular to the beginning of the curve or place it at the station perpendicular to the end of the curve at point A? or even where the PI of the curve is?
maybe i'm reading into this more than i should? maybe the book is wrong? maybe i'm reading the problem wrong? i don't know. my brain is fried...
help!!!
