QUESTION 3 What is the intersection sight distance (ft) needed at a yield controlled intersection for a passenger car to turn left onto a 2- way, 2-lane road with a design speed of 50 mph? [round to the nearest foot]
a) A lane merge warning sign (shown below) is being installed near an entrance ramp on a freeway with operating speeds of 80 mph. Calculate the appropriate advance placement distance (to the nearest foot) for the sign assuming a perception-reaction time of 14 seconds for the vehicle avoidance maneuver. b) A curve or turn warning sign is to be installed near a single curve with a 28 mph design speed (per ball-bank indicator) on a rural 2-lane roadway. The prevailing speed of traffic on the approaching tangent section is 62 mph. Calculate the advance placement distance upstream of the curve PC for this sign (to the nearest foot). Also indicate the appropriate sign to be used (curve or turn) and the appropriate safe advisory speed if one is to be posted for this curve.

Observers stationed at two sections XX and YY, 1000 ft apart on a highway, record the arrival times of four vehicles as shown in the table below. Vehicle Section XX Section YY A T0 T0 + 14.33 sec B T0 + 3.76 sec T0 + 18.14 sec C T0 + 7.94 sec T0 + 22.06 sec D T0 + 12.13 sec T0 + 27.87 sec If the total time of observation at XX was 20 sec, determine (a) the time mean speed, (b) the space mean speed, (c) the flow at section XX, and (d) the density on the highway
If the time of initial maneuver is (5 sec.), the time of passing vehicle occupies the left lane is (11 sec ), average acceleration is (3.5 km/hr/sec.) ,speed of passing vehicle is (80km/hr) and the speed of the slow vehicle ahead is (45 km/hr), Calculate the Minimum Passing Sight distance (P.S.D.). * P.S.D. = 436.43 m %3D P.S.D. = 563.12 m P.S.D. = 425.25 m P.S.D. = 542.44 m P.S.D. = 453.68 m This is a required question

Question- Topic: Traffic Studies on Flow, Speed, Travel Time, Volume and Capacity The lost time due to starting delay on a traffic signal approach is noted to be 3 sec, the actual time is 20sec and the amber time is 3sec. How much is the effective green time? green
A sign is required to be put up asking drivers to slow down to 30 km/h before entering zone Y (see figure). On this road, vehicles require 174 m to slow down to 30 kmn/h(the distance of 174 m includes the distance travelled during the perception reaction time of drivers). The sign can be read by 6/6 vision drivers from a distance of 48 m. The sign is placed at a distance of x m from the start of Zone Y so that even a 6/9 vision drive can slow down to 30 km/h before entering the zone. The minimum value of x is m.
