Q3: A four-leg intersection with no traffic control is formed by two-lane roads
with the speed limits on the minor and major roads being 15 and 25 mi/h,
respectively. If the roads cross at 90° and a building is to be located at a distance
of 45 ft from the centerline of the outside lane of the major road, determine the
minimum distance at which the building should be located from the centerline of
the nearest lane on the minor road so that adequate sight distances are provided.
A minor 2-lane roadway with design speed of 45 mph crosses a major 2-lane roadway with design speed of 50 mph at 90 degree angle at an at-grade T-intersection. All lanes are 12 ft wide. If a stop sign is installed on the minor road, determine the dimensions ofallrequired clear sight triangles at this intersection for passenger cars(Case B, stop sign control on the minor road).
A tall building located in Berea is located 13.5 m from the centerline of the right lane of a local road and 19.5 m from the centerline of the right lane of an intersecting road. The approach grade of the intersection is 2% and the lane width is 3m. If the maximum speed limit on the intersecting road is 56 km/h, what should the speed limit on the local road be such that the minimum sight distance is provided to allow the drivers of approaching vehicles to avoid imminent collision by adjusting their speeds?
