This. We design for vertical sight distance and stopping sight distance based on an object over the hill that is 2.5' in height. The Turner was never designed for 80 mph. I dont know what the design speed is but based on when it was built I'll guess 70 mph

Eye level is about 7'6 in my lifted F250 and my 8' high rear center mount brake light is designed for at least 85 mph.

Wait, are you saying that if I lift my truck to 10', I can safely drive 100mph?

Based on the figure you posted, the standard seems to be a Formula 1 car.

Its to calculate sight distance of a verticle curve. The speed is already a given.

Ahh, got it!
