You are to determine the duration of the yellow light at a highway intersection. Assume that cars will be approaching the intersection traveling at 70 mph, and that the reaction time of the driver is 2.5 sec and that cars achieve a deceleration of 1/8 of the gravitational acceleration. if g=32.2 fps^2,   a. how long must the traffic light remain yellow to allow drivers to come to stop before the traffic light turns red? b. what is the minimum distance of a car from the intersection when the lightturns yellow to ensure that it comes to a full stop before the intersection

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.
