Q3- A minor road carrying 100 veh/h on each approach for 8 hours of an average day crosses a majorroad carrying 260 veh/h on each approach for the same 8 hours, forming a cross intersection. The85th-percentile approach speed of major roads is 35 kph. In addition, the multiway stop is consideredas an interim solution. Determine whether a multiway stop sign is justified at this location if thefollowing conditions exist:1. The pedestrian volume from the minor street for the same 8 hours traffic volume is 110 ped/h.2. The average delay to minor-street vehicular traffic during the maximum hours is 40 sec/veh.3. There is an average of 18 crashes for the last 3-years that may be corrected by installing amultiway stop control.

A new section of a freeway is to be designed with a free-flow-speed of 65 mph along of 0.75 mile on 5% upgrade. The expected traffic volume is 4200 v/hr. The traffic composition is 15% trucks, 5% recreational vehicles, and 10% buses. The peak hourly factor is 0.9, the unfamiliar driver factor is 0.95. If the design requirement is to target a level of service (B), how many lanes must be provided to satisfy the design requirement?
A new freeway ramp meter will be installed on the Medina onramp to westbound SR 520. There is 70 ft from the ramp meter stop line back to the nearest intersection, and each stopped vehicle takes up an average of 20 ft. The desired meter rate is one vehicle every 10 seconds, while the arrival rate averages one vehicle arrival every 11 seconds. What is the average queue length? 55ft O 4.5 ft 100ft 90ft
1- You are assigned to evaluate the level of service for a section of a six-lane rural highway that stretches along a level terrain with shoulder width of eight ft and lane width of twelve ft. The average annual daily traffic is fifty-five thousand vehicles per day with ten percent trucks, five percent buses, and three percent recreational vehicles. The peak hour factor is 0.80 and the directional split is fifty-fifty. The distance between consequent interchanges is two miles. Calculate the level of service for this highway section and show your calculation steps.

There are 9 vehicles observed in a 300 m section of McArthur highway. If the average time headway is 4 sec., compute the space mean speed of the vehicles in kph.
3. An intersection approach has two lane groups: left-turn lane group, and through/right-turn lane group. The control delay is 37 seconds/vehicle for the left-turn lane group, and 27 seconds/vehicle for the through/right-turn lane group. The analysis flow rate is 97 vehicles/hour for the left-turn lane group, and 450 vehicles/hour for the through/right-turn lane group. Calculate the approach control delay and write the corresponding level of service (LOS) for the approach in the box below.
A Four Lane freeway is located on rolling terrain with a free flow speed of 70 mph,12ft lanes, and no lateral obstructions within 8 ft of the pavement edges. the traffic stream consists of cars, buses and large trucks (no recreational vehicles) . A weekend directional peak hour volume of 1800 vehicles (*regular users*)is observed ,with 700 arriving in the mostly congested 15 minutes period . if a level of service no worse than C is required ,determine the maximum number of large trucks and buses that can be present in the peak hour traffic stream..
