A minor road carrying 60 veh/h on each approach for eight hours of an average day crosses a major road carrying 110 veh/h on each approach for the same eight hours, forming a cross intersection. The 85th- percentile approach speed of major roads is 65km/h. In addition, the multiway stop is considered as an interim solution. Determine whether a multiway stop sign is justified at this location if the following conditions exist: 1. The pedestrian volume from the minor street for the same eight hours as the traffic volume is 30 ped/h. 2. The average delay to minor-street vehicular traffic during the maximum hours is 35 sec/veh. 3. There is an average of four crashes per year that may be corrected by a multiway stop control. а. WA and WC are satisfied. b. WA, WB, and WC are satisfied. С. WB and WC are satisfied. d. WD is satisfied.

A multilane highway (three lanes in each direction) is on level terrain. The free flow speed has been measured at 50mph. The peak-hour directional volume is 1500 vehicles with 10% heavy vehicles, and PHF is 0.9. If the proportion of vehicles types and peak-hour factor remains constant, how many vehicles can be added to the directional volume before capacity is reached?

Ina road-intersection near Dhaka, average 120 cars make right-hand turns in every hour. Road planner wants to put in a 3-vehicle right- hand turn lane in the intersection to avoid blocking of thru traffic. Determine if 3-vehicle right-hand turn lane satisfy the following design criteria: Red light time of right-hand traffic is 30 seconds Right-hand turn lane must be sufficient 90% of the time.

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?
Find level of service (LOS) for an old freeway in Basrah city with the following characteristics: (free flow speed (FFS) = 65 (mi/hr), peak hour factor (PHF) = 0.80, umber on lanes (N) = 3 in one direction, factor of heavy vehicles (fív) = 0.90 and traffic volume (V) = 2200 (veh/hr).
An existing four-lane freeway in rural area is with the following :information Lane width 3.5m, 0.9m lateral clearance, 1800 veh/hr peak hour volume, PHF=0.9, interchange density =0.90, 5% trucks, 5% buses and the road is within a mountainous terrain. Then based on the HCM procedure, the service flow rate (pc/h/In) is
Problem 4: A six-lane freeway has 11-ft lanes with 5-ft shoulders on the right side. There are 5 interchanges every ten miles. Estimate the free flow speed.
A developer has applied for a construction permit to build a supermarket at the southeast cornerof an intersection that is formed by a four-lane divided highway in the east-west direction and atwo-lane road in the north-south direction. Traffic on the two-lane road is controlled by a stop signat the intersection. The speed limit on the four-lane highway is 88 km/h. using the sight trianglerequirements at the intersection (Case B1), determine whether permission should be given for theconstruction if the following conditions exist. Provide a diagram for your solution.Major road lane width = 3.6 mMinor road lane width = 3.3 mMedian lane = 2.8 mDesign vehicle is a passenger carApproach grade = 2%Maximum feasible distance building from the center of the nearest lane of four-lane road = 5.4 mMaximum feasible distance building from the center of the nearest lane of two-lane road = 16.5 m
Determine whether a T intersection (one leg on the minor approach) with the hourly volume data satisfy MUTCD Warrant 3 (peak-hr vehicular volume) for signalization. All approaches have one lane entering the intersection. For the warrant that is met, explain how the warrant is met (rules applied, hours in which the volume criteria were met, etc.) and refer to necessary graphs and tables. The major street speed limit is 60 km/h, and the minor street speed limit is 40 km/h.
