QUESTION 3
What is the intersection sight distance (ft) needed at a yield controlled intersection for a passenger car to turn left onto a 2-
way, 2-lane road with a design speed of 50 mph?
[round to the nearest foot]
A signalized intersection approach has an upgrade of 4%. The total width of the cross street is 60 ft. The avg. vehicle length is 16 ft. Traffic operates at 40 mph. Find the min. change and clearance interval (CCL).
