(Enter the sum of green and yellow times for each phase, and afterwards the total cycle length. Ensure that enough green time is provided to allow for pedestrian movement. Assume each of the four approaches is divided into a left lane, a through lane, and a through-right lane. Assume the lost time due to acceleration and deceleration during each phase is 3.5 seconds, and the time lost due to the red clearance interval between each phase is 1.5 seconds. Also, assume the curb-to-curb distance is 56 ft when pedestrians travel during the N-S phases and 68 ft when pedestrians travel during the E-W phases.
