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.

QUESTION 13 60 10 15-min Volumes Y 75 40 Lane Configurations SUCP What is the movement capacity of the left turn from the main street if the potential capacity is 1,238 veh/h?
A 14-km streetcar line travels eastbound and westbound in shared ROW, and in each direction, it has stops every 250 m. Because the line is heavily used, it has a headway of 2.5 min and streetcars stop at each service stop. The running speed of streetcars between stops is 25 km/h (not accounting for stopping at stops). At each stop, streetcars spend 30 sec in acceleration, deceleration and dwell time. The terminal time is 10 min/terminal. The line is being redesigned into a high-quality streetcar line. The new streetcars have double the capacity of existing cars, and the headway of the new line will be increased to 5 min (although some passenger trips might be lost due to the increased stop spacing and increased headway, the travel demand is expected to be at least the same because of the overall performance improvement of the line). Two options are being considered: Option 1: The new stop spacing is 300m. The new line is expected to have a running speed of 40 km/h and the stop time…
