Concept explainers

Intersection Design

An intersection is a location where two or more roads or railways meet or join. The traffic movement is controlled at the intersection that depends on its design and type. It governs the operation, efficiency, speed, capacity, and safety of the highways, airways, and railways. The movement of the pedestrian causes hazards and delays at the intersection.

A highway section has a grade of -2%, a school zone is operated for 30 minutes before and after school time, the posted speed during the school zone will be 25 km/hr. A new sign will be installed to aware drivers about the school zone with a flashing light. Find the proper distance from the school zone that the sign should be located in a meter. Knowing that the traffic stream has a posted speed of 80 km/hr and the driver can recognize 1 in. of sign letter from 20 ft. The engineer summary for a spot speed study shows that there is a lot of speed violation, that some drivers drive 10% higher than the posted speed. The sign has a height of 5 in.

A driver is traveling at 45 mi/h and has a perception-reaction time of 3 seconds. A deer is spotted at a distance of 380 ft ahead and the driver is able to come to a stop just before hitting the deer. Assuming practical stopping distance, what is the grade of the road in percent?
Plz, solve this problem. Transportation Engineering-2 A four-lane highway (2 lanes in each direction) with 3.65m lanes has a horizontal curve designed for a 380 m centerline radius, and a 110 km/hr design speed. The grade is level. Use a driver perception reaction time of 2.5 sec and a vehicle deceleration rate of 3.4 m/sec2. Determine the closest distance any roadside object may be placed to the centerline of the inside lane of the roadway.(note: Do not round any value. Use calculated values).
