Maximum grade to prevent drag boat trailers
Maximum grade to prevent drag boat trailers
(OP)
I am raising the grade of a rural collector road to improve sight distance at a T intersection with a local road. I am raising the grade approximately 3.5' and would like to minimize the construction on the local road which dead ends and services an island where every property owner has a boat. What I need to know is what is the maximum grade that can be used on the local road to prevent a boat trailer from dragging when manuvering through the intersection. Any help is appreciated.

I know it is a "basic" method but it does work reasonably well for one of issues. I have used this method for similar problems, more often than not it is actually used to assess and modify driveways.
