A pretimed four-phase signal has critical lane group flow rates for the first three phases of 200, 187, and 210 veh/h (saturation flow rates are 1800 veh/h/In for all phases). The lost time is known to be 4 seconds for each phase. Assuming X₁ = 0.9. If the cycle length is 60 seconds, what is the estimated effective green time of the fourth phase?
