Question

Transcribed Image Text:The diagram is a "Ring and Barrier Diagram" used in traffic signal systems to manage intersection movements. It depicts two rings, Ring 1 and Ring 2, each containing three phases (Φ).
**Ring and Barrier Diagram Explanation:**
- **Ring 1:**
- **Phase 1 (Φ1):** Allows left and through movements on the major street. Indicated with arrows pointing left and straight.
- **Phase 2 (Φ2):** Allows right, left, and through movements on the major street. Indicated with arrows pointing in the respective directions and pedestrian movement.
- **Ring 2:**
- **Phase 5 (Φ5):** Similar to Phase 1, allows left and through movements on the opposite side of the major street.
- **Phase 6 (Φ6):** Allows right, left, and through movements similar to Phase 2 on the opposite side of the major street.
- **Barrier:** Separates the major street movements (Phases 1, 2, 5, 6) from the minor street movements.
- **Minor Street:**
- **Phase 3 (Φ3):** Permits left turns and through movements across the minor street. Indicated with respective arrows.
- **Phase 4 (Φ4):** Allows similar movements as Phase 3, mirrored for traffic from the opposite direction.
- **Legend:**
- Symbols indicate the meaning of arrows, with attention to permitted and protected movements and pedestrian movements.
**Question to Consider:**
- In this ring and barrier diagram, which phases cannot be reversed in their sequencing?
- ○ phase 1 and phase 2
- ○ phase 5 and phase 6
- ○ phase 1 and phase 5
- ○ phase 3 and phase 4
This educational analysis helps in understanding the sequence of traffic phases and their implications on traffic management and safety.
