Question

A two-lane major road with 40 mph east west direction crosses a two-lane minor road with 30 mph at a 90- degree angle. The
Intersection is uncontrolled. A proposal is being made to construct a building at the south-east corner of the intersection. If the
building is placed 41 feet from the center of the approach lane (nearest lane to the building) on minor road, what distagce the
building should be constructed from the edge of the travel way on major road to satisty sight distance requirements. Alsume
each lane is 12 feet.

A four-lane freeway with 12 ft lanes and 5 shoulders is on a 2% grade for the 1.25-mi analysis stretch. There are 2 ramps in this section. If the traffic mix is generally 6% heavy vehicles with a 70/30 SUT/TT split and a PHF of 0.8, how many vehicles can the freeway carry in the peak hour without dropping below Level of Surface (LOS) C?
Consider divided multilane highway in Congressional Avenue (fp = 0.98) that has six lanes (three lanes in each direction) and is on rolling terrain. The highway has 3.3m lanes with a 1.8m right-side shoulder and a 1.7m left-side shoulder. The posted speed limit is 85 kph. Formerly there were 1.2 access points per km, but recent development by Makati City Central Business District has increased the number of access points to 5.2 per km. Before development, the peak-hour factor was 0.95 and the directional hourly volume was 2500 vehicles with 9% large trucks and buses and 2% recreational vehicles. After development, the peak-hour directional flow is 3000 vehicles with the same vehicle percentages and peak-hour factor. What is the level of service before and after the development of Congressional Avenue? Round-off to the nearest value for the average passenger car speed in kph.
A two-lane minor road intersects a four-lane undivided major road at 90 degrees,forming a four-leg intersection with traffic on the minor road controlled by a stop sign. The designspeed on the major road is 80 km/h. The approach grade on the minor road is 5%. A single unit truckon the minor road would like to make a left turn onto the major road. Using the AASHTO procedure,determine the minimum sight distance required on the major road for the truck to make a left turnonto the major road.
A single-lane ramp is proposed to be designed on a section of the eastbound direction of a four-lane undivided conventional highway that is on a curve. The centerline alignment horizontal curve radius is 5000 feet. Prepare a preliminary design for the ramp, draft, and add callouts. Assume standard lane and shoulder widths. Clearly state other assumptions, if necessary. Please ensure to show all necessary curve radii and shoulder widths (including ramp shoulders).
A +2 percent grade on an arterial highway intersects with a -1 percent grade at station (535 +24.25) at an elevation of 300 ft. If the design speed of the highway is 65 mi/h, determine the stations and elevations of the BVC and EVC, the elevation of each 100-ft station, and the high point. Use L = KA.
2. The intersection is controlled with a stop sign on the minor road. The four-lane major road with a median width of 9 ft has a design speed of 55 mph. Determine the minimum sight distance required for a passenger car on the minor road to safely turn left onto the major road. The approach grade of the minor road is 5 percent.
