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.
Pls hand written solution
A local street named Dysc Drive has a series of intersections controlled by four-way stop signs (because of sight problems, perhaps). The next intersection is controlled by a stop sign on Dysc Drive but no signs on the cross street (because it has the right-of-way). Discuss the safety aspects of this design, putting yourself in the place of a driver proceeding along Dysc Drive in this direction.

The yellow plus all-red intervals for the phase total 4.0 s.
