Total stopping distance on a dry pavement at the speed of 30 mph is about?
This depends heavily on the vehicle in question. Stopping distance is a function of the mass of the vehicle, the width of the tires (i.e. friction area in contact with the pavement), and the type and "strength" of the brakes on the vehicle. A typical mid-size sedan like a Toyota Camry can stop in roughly 30 feet from 30mph. A large SUV like a Ford Explorer requires about 35-40 feet, while a Semi-Tractor trailer cab with loaded trailer can stop in about 40 feet, despite weighing over 10 times that of the SUV, since it has much more powerful brakes and much more wheel contact area.
