𝑉𝑎 = 127 𝑅 𝑒 + 𝑓
If 𝑉𝑎 < design speed, the speed is limited to 𝑉𝑎 and needs warning sign
and speed limit regulations.

a. Mechanical Widening:
• The widening required to account for the off-tracking

𝑅2 = 𝑅1 + 𝑊𝑚
𝑅22 = 𝑅12 + 𝑙 2 = (𝑅2 −𝑊𝑚 )2 + 𝑙2
𝑅22 = 𝑅22 − 2𝑅2 𝑊𝑚 + 𝑊𝑚2 + 𝑙2
2𝑅2 𝑊𝑚 − 𝑊𝑚2 = 𝑙2

𝑊𝑚 =
2𝑅2 −𝑊𝑚

𝑅2 ≅ 𝑅1 ≅ 𝑅 (Mean radius) and 𝑊𝑚 ≪ R: 𝑊𝑚 = 2𝑅

For road with n lanes: 𝑊𝑚 =

b. Psychological Widening:
Widening provided for psychological reasons: tendency of
drivers to drive near outer edge of pavement in curves,
tendency of drivers to keep greater clearance for crossing and
overtaking.
Empirical relation proposed by IRC:
