Design the intersection given the following vehicular volumes per leg in pcu.
Two low-volume two-lane streets (lane width = 11 ft) intersect in an urban residential area at 120-60 degree-angle. Recommend appropriate curb configurations for this intersection based on AASHTO (2011) recommendations for a passenger car design vehicle. Draw a neat sketch for the intersection showing the dimensions of all elements you selected in your design.
