Concept explainers

Intersection Design

An intersection is a location where two or more roads or railways meet or join. The traffic movement is controlled at the intersection that depends on its design and type. It governs the operation, efficiency, speed, capacity, and safety of the highways, airways, and railways. The movement of the pedestrian causes hazards and delays at the intersection.

An accident investigator estimates that a vehicle hit an advertisement column at a speed of 30 mi/h, based on his assessment of damage. Leading up to the accident location, he observes skid marks of 100 ft on the pavement (F = 0.35), 10 ft on the shoulder (F=0.3), and 75 ft on the grass shoulder (F = 0.25); the grades of the pavement, the shoulder and the grass are 2%, 8% and 6% downgrade, respectively.
