A developer has applied for a construction permit to build a supermarket at the southeast cornerof an intersection that is formed by a four-lane divided highway in the east-west direction and atwo-lane road in the north-south direction. Traffic on the two-lane road is controlled by a stop signat the intersection. The speed limit on the four-lane highway is 88 km/h. using the sight trianglerequirements at the intersection (Case B1), determine whether permission should be given for theconstruction if the following conditions exist. Provide a diagram for your solution.Major road lane width = 3.6 mMinor road lane width = 3.3 mMedian lane = 2.8 mDesign vehicle is a passenger carApproach grade = 2%Maximum feasible distance building from the center of the nearest lane of four-lane road = 5.4 mMaximum feasible distance building from the center of the nearest lane of two-lane road = 16.5 m
55 mph roadway with two northbound through lanes (both are 11 feet in width) through an intersection. Beyond the intersection, the lanes merge into one lane. Please calculate the merge taper AND the distance the sign must be place AHEAD or upstream of the beginning of the merge.

- b) What are the main disadvantages of traffic signal controlled intersection in Kumasi.arrow_forwardLane groups are used during signal design to allocate green time among traffic movements at an intersection. What lane group(s) should be defined for the north-bound approach? Intersection layout is shown in the figure below. All approaches have an exclusive left-turning lane. The right lane is shared between through and right turns. a. There should be two lane groups. The left turn lane is its own lane group (Lane Group #1). The rest lanes belong to Lane Group #2. b. There should be two lane groups. The right-side lane is its own lane group because it's shared (Lane Group #1). The rest lanes belong to Lane Group #2. c. There should be just one lane group, which contains all the lanes from that approach. d.
