Transportation EngineeringEASYMEDIUM
Choose the correct answer
A
Bitumen grade only
B
Cement content
C
Design speed, gradients and curve standards
D
Number of toll booths
Correct Answer
C. Design speed, gradients and curve standards
Why is this the answer?
Plain/rolling/mountainous/steep terrain changes achievable speed, gradients, curve radius and safety clearances. Reference: IRC:73-1980 / latest IRC:73-2023 revision topic area; verify exact latest clause/page in adopted copy - terrain/design speed tables
