1. 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.
Q1 (A): Name and draw an interchange that contains one-way diagonal ramps in each quadrant and with two at-grade intersections provided on the minor road. (B): Speak briefly about the six warrants that according to the AASHTO should be considered when determining if an interchange is justified at a particular site. 2 log signalized
A developer has applied for a construction permit to build a supermarket at the southeast cornerof an intersection that is formed by a four-lane divided highway in the east-west direction and atwo-lane road in the north-south direction. Traffic on the two-lane road is controlled by a stop signat the intersection. The speed limit on the four-lane highway is 88 km/h. using the sight trianglerequirements at the intersection (Case B1), determine whether permission should be given for theconstruction if the following conditions exist. Provide a diagram for your solution.Major road lane width = 3.6 mMinor road lane width = 3.3 mMedian lane = 2.8 mDesign vehicle is a passenger carApproach grade = 2%Maximum feasible distance building from the center of the nearest lane of four-lane road = 5.4 mMaximum feasible distance building from the center of the nearest lane of two-lane road = 16.5 m

What would be the LOS before and after the heavy vehicles are allowed on the upgrade (assuming 50% SUTs and 50% TTs.)? 6.21 A multilane highway has four lanes (two lanes in each direction) and a measured FFS of 55 mi/h. The directional peak-hour volume is 1900 vehicles (the peak-hour factor is 0.80). One upgrade is 5% and is 0.62 mi long. Currently, heavy vehicles are not permitted on the highway, but local authorities are considering allowing heavy vehicles on this upgrade. If this is done, they estimate that 150 heavy vehicles will use…
