The total cycle time of an intersection is 60 seconds, the green time for the phase is 27 seconds
and the corresponding yellow time is 4 seconds. If the saturation headway is 2.4 seconds/
vehicle, the startup lost time is 2 seconds/phase and the clearance lost time is 1 second/phase
then the capacity of the movement is
(a) 1500 veh/hr/lane
(c) 500 veh/hr/lane
(b) 700 veh/hr/lane
(d) 300 veh/hr/lane
select all correct options.
The average normal flow of traffic on
cross roads A and B during design
period are 400 and 250 pcu per hour; the
saturations flow values on these roads
are estimated as 1250 and 1000 pcu per
hour respectively.
The all-red time required for pedestrian
crossing is 12 secs.
Design two phase traffic signal by
Webster's method.

- Assume that passenger car equivalents are 1.5 for trucks (ET), 1.6 for left-turns (EL), and 1.4 for right-turns (ER), and saturation flow qs= 160 x (curb-to-curb width / # of lanes) equivalent passenger-car units per hour per lane (pcu/hr/ln). Pedestrian walk speed (PS) is 4 ft/sec, and the effective width of crosswalk (WE) is 9 ft.
