Traffic on the minor road is controlled by a stop sign. The speed limits are 40 and 55 mi/h on the minor and major roads, respectively. The building is to be located at a distance of 70 ft from the near lane of one of the approaches of the minor road.
Determine where the building should be located relative to the centerline of the outside lane of the major road in order to provide adequate sight distance for a driver on the minor road to turn right onto the major road after stopping at the stop line.
