Q1:

While calculating the overtaking sight distance, the height of the object above road surface, is assumed

A Zero

B 50 cm

C 75 cm

D 100 cm

E 120 cm

ANS:E - 120 cm

RC has suggested the height of the eye level of the driver as 1.2 m and the height of the object as 0.15 m above the road surface.

If overtaking sight or intermediate sight distance is considered, then the value of driver's eye height and the height of obstructions are taken equal as 1.2 meters.
