Very nice. Of course you know that triangles fail in the classic case because the vertex crashes into the road. Your Reuleaux method seems to not have that problem. One would have to zoom in closely to make sure the vertex happily slides into the cusp. Yes, it appears to be fine. I guess the angle is 120 degrees, not 60 like in a triangle.
