During peak periods, “Trotro” drivers use the shoulders as travel lanes on the section of the Kasoa road approaching the toll booth from the West Hills Mall direction. As a Highway Engineer, what design intervention would you propose to prevent the shoulders from being used as travel lanes during congested period or as part-time shoulders but still function as shoulders? (CR,5)

The 2 southbound lanes of a four-lane (i.e. 2 lanes each direction) urban freeway are 12 ft wide. There is at least 6 ft of lateral clearance on the right side of the outer/right lane. There are two ramps within the influence area (i.e. within 3 miles upstream and 3 miles downstream of the center of the segment. What is the estimated FFS (mph)? Provide the answer to the nearest tenths.
9) The driver of an automobile moving with the velocity of 90 km/h on a 4% graded descendinghighway section decides to overtake the bus moving with a velocity of 70 km/h despite theapproaching truck with a velocity of 50 km/h on the opposite direction.a) What should be the minimum distance between the automobile and the truck at thebeginning of the overtaking for safe manouevre ?b) If the truck has to stop op the highway, what is the upper and the lower limit of the tractionforce that must be diverted to its wheels in order to restart moving ?Given: di=8+0,2.Vi; pavement sliding coefficient, f=0,40; t = 0,020; the mass of the truck = 12ton, Qm=2/3.Q
Two low-volume two-lane streets (lane width = 11 ft) intersect in an urban residential area at 120-60 degree-angle. Recommend appropriate curb configurations for this intersection based on AASHTO (2011) recommendations for a passenger car design vehicle. Draw a neat sketch for the intersection showing the dimensions of all elements you selected in your design.
