    (i) The document discusses various topics related to the geometric design of highways including factors affecting design, types of curves and slopes, sight distances, intersection design, and design of expressways and interchanges. (ii) It includes questions related to calculating the length of a vertical curve, determining coordinates of the lowest point, compensating for grade, and calculating stopping sight distance and minimum radius for an expressway. (iii) Design considerations are discussed for elements like bicycle lanes, pedestrian crossings, ramps at interchanges, and types of parking. Standards and specifications from IRC guidelines are referenced.
