A section of rural 2 lane highway is to be designed to carry a peak hour volume of 1500 on a level terrain. Determine the level of service at which it will operate using the following data: V Lane width = 11 ft V No passing zone 20% Directional split= 60/40 V Decimal fraction of trucks = 0.10 V Decimal fraction of recreational vehicles = 0.04 V Decimal fraction of buses = 0.01 Shoulder width =6 ft PHF = 0.95

Q5a. Otwebeweate has been selected as the capital of a newly created district. As the new District Engineer, the Chief and the elders of the town approach you and make a request for the installation of a traffic light at one of the key intersections with the reason that there is no single traffic signal in the town and the installation of one will lift the status of the town as a district capital.

Vine Street for NSmovements 1s 48 ft wide and Maple Street for EW movements is 60 ft wide. There are two throughmovement lanes and one left-tum lane in each approach. The yellow times for Vine Street and MapleStreet through movement and left-tum phases are 4 second and 3 seconds per g_hase, respectively. TheAll-red for each phase is 2.0 seconds and the ost time is 5 seconds per phase. Pedestrian walkmgspeed is 3.5 ft/sec.
