A 1200 ft. equal tangent crest vertical curve is currently designed for 50 mph. A civil engineering student contends that 60 mph is safe in a van because of the higher drivers line of site. If all other design inputs are standard, what must the drivers eye height be in the van for the students claim to be valid?
