Question:
The design speed of road is ____ percentile speed.
The design speed of road is ____ percentile speed.
Show Hint
For road design, always use the 98\textsuperscript{th} percentile speed to ensure that most drivers can safely navigate the road.

Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
The design speed of a road is generally based on the **98\textsuperscript{th}** percentile speed, which ensures that the road is designed for the speed at or below which 98% of drivers will be traveling. This is to accommodate typical driving behavior while ensuring safety.
