2.) Traffic flow on a single lane is moving with a free flow speed of 40 kph and density of 50 veh/km. This flow is stopped for 45 seconds at an intersection controlled by signals. Assume jam density of 250 veh/km. a.) What would be the speed and direction of the stopping wave? b.) What would be the length of cars stopped?
