- For the STOP-controlled intersection show below, is the sight distance sufficient for safe operations? If not, what do you recommend? Again, you may assume that a traffic signal is not warranted at this location. All grades are level, and the standard reaction time of 2.5 s may be used. Lane widths on the E-W street are 12 ft. 45 mi/h 45 mi/h 30 ft : 30 mi/h 50 ft 35 ft 28 ft Building Buildingarrow_forwardQ2/ A 3-phase traffic signal (cycle time 114 sec) is used at intersection of approach x, y, and z with equal effective green time at all approaches. Assuming that width of approach= 12 m, % left turning =30. show the following for one of the approaches: a- A sketch showing the sequence of all controller times appearing during one cycle indicating their values. b- Number of vehicles that could be discharge per cycle.arrow_forwardD.

- 8. (15 points) Calculate the "clearance period," the "yellow time," and the "all-red period" for a signalized intersection. Assume that the initial vehicle speed, intersection length, and vehicle length are 45 mi/h, 44 ft, and 22 ft, respectively. Also, deceleration rate is 10 ft/s and driver reaction time is 1 second.arrow_forwardshow processarrow_forwardBasis of speed limit: A Average speed B Modal speed c) 50th percentile speed D 85th percentile speedarrow_forward
- A highway section has a grade of -2%, a school zone is operated for 30 minutes before and after school time, the posted speed during the school zone will be 25 km/hr. A new sign will be installed to aware drivers about the school zone with a flashing light. Find the proper distance from the school zone that the sign should be located in a meter. Knowing that the traffic stream has a posted speed of 80 km/hr and the driver can recognize 1 in. of sign letter from 20 ft. The engineer summary for a spot speed study shows that there is a lot of speed violation, that some drivers drive 10% higher than the posted speed. The sign has a height of 5 in.
