This turn assumes . that the outer front wheel follows th~ circular arc defining the minimum turning radius as determined by the. yehidesteering . mechanism. The minimum radii of the outside and inside wheel paths are given in Table 11-2. Geometric design requirements for trucks and buses are much more severe than they are. f6rpassengervehieles. Trucks and buses are wider and have longer wheelbases. and greater mimimum turning radii. These are the princi- palcharaCteristicdimen'sions. affecting horizontal highway design. The longer single-unit trucks and buses require greater minimum turning radii tharimost vehicle combinations, but because of their greater offtrackiQg,. the longer vehicle <:ombinatiQns also require greater widths of turning paths. A semitrailer combination is a truck tractor with a semitrailer, either with or without a full trailer, ora truck with one or more full trailers.
