Concept explainers

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

Please answer this NEATLY, COMPLETELY, and CORRECTLY for an UPVOTE. A motorist is about to enter the exit ramp of a highway. When it is 50m before reaching A (along the straight path), the motorist travels at 80km/h, decreasing at the rate of 0.5m/s2until it reaches B. After it reaches B, it travels at a constant speed. Determine the magnitude of the acceleration: just after A just before B just after B
