A two-lane minor road intersects a two-lane major road at 90 degrees, forming a four-leg intersection with traffic on the minor road controlled by a yield sign. A building is located 40 ft from the minor road. If the speed limit were 45 mi/h on the major road and 25 mi/h on the minor road, determine the minimum distance that the building can be located from the centerline of the outside lane of the major street.

A major road with a design speed of 90km/h intersects a minor road whose design speed is 50km/h. If the right of way of the main road is 20m while that of the minor road is 10m and that the two roads are perpendicular to each other, calculate the size of the sight triangle. NOTE: The right of way is measured from the centre of the road. (According to TRH170
