Answer to Problem 1P

Here there are total 9 conflict points. The number of possible conflict points at any intersection depends on the turning movements of vehicles and thetype of traffic control at the intersection.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Conflict points at an unsignalized T intersection.

Figure shows the possible conflict points at an unsignalized T intersection,

  Traffic And Highway Engineering, Chapter 8, Problem 1P

The 3 types of possible conflicts at an unsignalized T intersection are,

  1. Merging conflict points 3
  2. Diverging conflict points 3
  3. Crossingconflict points 3

Figure (1) shows the different conflict points that exist at unsignalized T intersection. Here total 9 conflict points in this type of intersection of unsignalized. The number of possible conflict points at any intersection will depend on the turning movements of vehicles and thetypeof traffic control at the intersection.
