Draw the intersection diagram for a given traffic volume summary of a T intersection and design the most appropriate and logical phasing pattern for the unsignalized intersection.
A two-phase signal system is installed at an un-signalized + intersection with channelized left-turn lanes and shared through and right-turn lanes. Using a suitable diagram, determine the possible conflict points. Indicate the phasing system used.
Q3c. At a three leg (T) intersection, the two-way peak hour volume on the minor road is 500 veh/hr and that on the major road is 600 veh/hr. As a Traffic Engineer, what type of intersection control will you propose? What is the basis of your proposal?

- The following diagram illustrates the number of conflicting points at a 4-approach unsignalized intersection with one lane for each approach. The conflicting points are classified as points for merging, diverging, and crossing. How many conflict points will there be if the intersection geometry is changed to two off-set “T” intersections? Scratch your solution and label all conflicting points by classification.arrow_forward3. An intersection approach has two lane groups: left-turn lane group, and through/right-turn lane group. The control delay is 37 seconds/vehicle for the left-turn lane group, and 27 seconds/vehicle for the through/right-turn lane group. The analysis flow rate is 97 vehicles/hour for the left-turn lane group, and 450 vehicles/hour for the through/right-turn lane group. Calculate the approach control delay and write the corresponding level of service (LOS) for the approach in the box below.arrow_forwardQUESTION 3 # How many crossing conflicts are present at a 4-leg intersection where each leg is a single lane approach, as shown above?arrow_forward
