Question
Which one of the following conditions shall be fulfilled when a transition curve is inserted between the tangent and circular curve?
A.
It should not meet the original straight tangentially
B.
It should not meet the circular curve tangentially
C.
Its radius at the junction with the circular curve should be the same as that of the circular curve
D.
The rate of decrease of curvature along the transition curve should be same as that of increase in superelevation
Answer ( Option C)

Its radius at the junction with the circular curve should be the same as that of the circular curve

Solution

When a transition curve is inserted between the tangent and circular curve, following conditions shall be fulfilled:
       It should meet the original straight tangentially.
        It should meet the circular curve tangentially.
        Its radius at the junction with straight road should be infinite and with the circular curve should be the same as that of the circular curve.
        The rate of increase of curvature along the transition curve should be same as that of increase in superelevation.
