A signalized intersection has four approaches. The flow rate of each approach is 1090 veh/h for NB, 2040 veh/h for SB, 870 veh/h for EB and 1540 veh/h for WB. Each approach's control delay is calculated as 33 sec/veh for NB, 57 sec/veh for SB, 28 sec/veh for EB and 49 sec/veh for WB. What is the control delay of the intersection?

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.

3. An intersection approach has two lane groups: left-turn lane group, and through/right-turn lane group. The control delay is 37 seconds/vehicle for the left-turn lane group, and 27 seconds/vehicle for the through/right-turn lane group. The analysis flow rate is 97 vehicles/hour for the left-turn lane group, and 450 vehicles/hour for the through/right-turn lane group. Calculate the approach control delay and write the corresponding level of service (LOS) for the approach in the box below.
