Lane groups are used during signal design to allocate green time among traffic movements at an intersection. What lane group(s) should be defined for the north-bound approach? Intersection layout is shown in the figure below. All approaches have an exclusive left-turning lane. The right lane is shared between through and right turns. a. 60 ft. C. 48 ft. North-bound G=+3% There should be two lane groups. The left turn lane is its own lane group (Lane Group #1). The rest lanes belong to Lane Group #2. O b. There should be two lane groups. The right-side lane is its own lane group (Lane Group #1). The rest lanes belong to Lane Group #2. There should be just one lane group, which contains all the lanes from that approach. O d. Any of the above. ause it's shared

P Flag question The following field data were collected on a two-way road using the moving vehicle method. The vph. (MN = 120, Ms = 110, ON = 7, PN= 8, TN = 0.042 hr., Ts = traffic volume northbound (qn) is 0.048 hr.). а. none b. 1211 C. 1312 d. 910 е. 1566
The design speed of a multilane highway is 70 mi/h. Determine the following. Note: The term a g in the appropriate equation is typically rounded to 0.35 in calculations. Assume perception reaction time = 2.5 sec. (a) the minimum stopping sight distance (in ft) that should be provided for a level roadway ft (b) the minimum stopping sight distance (in ft) that should be provided for a roadway with a maximum grade of 6 percent. ft
7.12 The saturation flow rate of an approach to a pretimed signal is 6000 veh/h. The signal has a 60-second cycle with 20 seconds of effective red allocated to the approach. At the beginning of an effective red (with no vehicles remaining in the queue from a previous cycle), vehicles start arriving at a rate v(t) = 0.4 +0.01t + 0.00057+² (where v(t)) is in vehicles per second and t is the number of seconds from the beginning of the cycle). 30 seconds into the cycle the arrival rate remains constant at its 30-second level and stays at that rate until the end of the cycle. What is the total vehicle delay over the cycle (in vehicle- seconds), assuming D/D/1 queuing?
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).
Observers stationed at two sections XX and YY, 1000 ft apart on a highway, record the arrival times of four vehicles as shown in the table below.

A sign is required to be put up asking drivers to slow down to 30 km/h before entering zone Y (see figure). On this road, vehicles require 174 m to slow down to 30 kmn/h(the distance of 174 m includes the distance travelled during the perception reaction time of drivers). The sign can be read by 6/6 vision drivers from a distance of 48 m. The sign is placed at a distance of x m from the start of Zone Y so that even a 6/9 vision drive can slow down to 30 km/h before entering the zone. The minimum value of x is m.
