An isolated me signal angled intersection with road A, 18 m wide and road B, 12 m wide. During the peak hour, traffic volume per hour per lane of road A and road B are 275 and 225 respectively. The approach speeds are 55 and 40 kmph, on roads A and road B respectively. Assume pedestrian crossing speed as 1.2 m per sec. Design the timings of two-phase traffic and pedestrian signals by the approximate method. Solution

COURSE: Transportation Engineering QUESTION: Julia Vargas avenue in Ortigas, Pasig is classified by the DOTR as a Class I two-lane highway on level terrain with passing permitted throughout. The highway has 3.3m lanes with 1.2m shoulders. There are 9.6 access points per km. The base FFS is 96.50 kph . During the peak hour, 480 vehicles are traveling in the analysis direction and 320 vehicles are traveling in the opposing direction. If the PHF is 0.85 and there are 4% large trucks, 3% buses, and 2% recreational vehicles, what is the level of service of Julia Vargas avenue??
A traffic signal control is being designed for a four-leg intersection on a divided highway with the characteristics shown in the table below. N-S Approaches E-W Approaches Median width, (ft) 16 12 Number of 12 ft lanes on each approach 3 2 Design speed, mph 50 40 Grade 0% 3% Determine the minimum green times (in s) for each approach if the effective crosswalk width in each direction is 8 ft and the number of pedestrians crossing during an interval is 22 in the N-S direction and 31 in the E-W direction. (Assume the average speed of pedestrians is 3.5 ft/s, and that it is feasible to disregard the yellow change and red clearance intervals.)
