The state transportation agency has established crash reduction factors shown in the table. An intersection has been identified as having an abnormally high left turn crash rate (17, 20, and 18 crashes in the last three years), attributed to excessive speeds and the absence of an exclusive left-turn phase. The ADT of the intersection for the last three years is 8,400, and the ADT for after implementation is 9,500. Determine (a) the appropriate countermeasures and (b) the expected reduction in crashes if the countermeasures are implemented. .

A municipal council on transportation is taking into account whether to base a recovery vehicle on a stretch of an highway to help clear incidents as fast a possible. The highway concerned carries over 5000 vehicles during the peak rush hour period. Traffic records show that on average, the number of incidents during the AM rush hour is 5. The council rejects any provision for a vehicle on the road if the probability of having more than 5 incidents in any one morning is less than 30%. Based on this information, should the council provide a vehicle?
