A new section of a freeway is to be designed with a free-flow-speed of 65 mph along of
0.75 mile on 5% upgrade. The expected traffic volume is 4200 v/hr. The traffic composition
is 15% trucks, 5% recreational vehicles, and 10% buses. The peak hourly factor is 0.9, the
unfamiliar driver factor is 0.95. If the design requirement is to target a level of service (B),
how many lanes must be provided to satisfy the design requirement?
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?
Two adjacent signalized intersections along a major arterial are 650 ft apart (stop line to stop line distance). If the space mean speed between these two intersections is 22 mph, what should be the signal offset of the downstream intersection relative to the upstream intersection?
