    Pulling out from a 2 lane side street, turning right, onto a 2 lane highway, the road has a 3% grade for a distance of 1/2 mile before going into a turn.
    How long would it take to travel the 1/2 mile stretch?
    Approximately how far back from the side street would a car approaching have to stop in order for the truck to make its turn?
    What area of roadway would the truck need to make a safe turn?
    Thank you
