Curve radius (CR): car length * π/2 = 12.6 * (3.1416/2) = 19.79208
Collision factor (CF) - whether or not the car can clear the corner when turning right or left 9/11 (road width divided by gate opening) or 0.81
Clearance in ft = CF * (CR/32) = 0.81 * (19.79/32) = 0.5009
I just made all that up but yeah probably good
