![Q2
An on-line bus stop with one loading area is located farside of an intersection along a rural
road. The road has two 3.2 m lanes per direction and is on a 5% uphill grade. Parking is
not permitted on the approaches of the intersection and close to the bus stop. Currently
there are 5 buses serving the route every hour. The following information is given:
Dwell time
Clearance time
Cycle length
Green time
Heavy vehicles
Total volume
Left turning vehicles
Pedestrian-bicycle blockage factor
Base saturation flow
