TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING-TRAFFIC SIGNALS" Recent analysis at an approach to pre-time signalized intersection indicate that the volume-to-capacity ratio (v/c) is 0.8, htat saturation flow rate (s) is 1600 vehicles/hour, and the effective green time is 50 seconds. If the average delay, assuming D/D/1 is 11.25 seconds per vehicle, determine the arrival flow rate (vehicles/hour) and the cycle length.
A signalized intersection has two lane groups. The two WBT lanes (lane group #1) have a total volume of 863 pc/h and an average control delay of 24.5 seconds. The one WBL lane (lane group #2) has a volume of 203 pc/h and an average control delay of 36.5 seconds. What is the approach's LOS? Group of answer choices LOS A LOS D LOS C LOS B
Q3c. At a three leg (T) intersection, the two-way peak hour volume on the minor road is 500 veh/hr and that on the major road is 600 veh/hr. As a Traffic Engineer, what type of intersection control will you propose? What is the basis of your proposal?
A signalized intersection has four approaches. If the north, south, east, and west approaches have average control delays of 21, 25, 34, and 32 seconds, respectively, and their respective volumes are 198, 176, 265, and 303 pc/h, what is the intersection LOS?

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.
