- A two-lane minor road intersects a four-lane undivided major road at 90 degrees,forming a four-leg intersection with traffic on the minor road controlled by a stop sign. The designspeed on the major road is 80 km/h. The approach grade on the minor road is 5%. A single unit truckon the minor road would like to make a left turn onto the major road. Using the AASHTO procedure,determine the minimum sight distance required on the major road for the truck to make a left turnonto the major road.for the utility in problem 8-3, will the utility pole be located too close to the road if it is on the outside of a horizontal curve with a radius of 2,000 f?A two-lane minor road intersects with a four-lane major street at 90 deg, forming a 4-leg intersection with traffic on the minor road controlled by a stop sign. The speed limits were 45 mph on the major road, and 25 mph on the minor road. Determine the intersection sight distance (ISD) when a passenger car wants to make a left turn onto the major street. (The grades of both road are low than 3%)
- Plz, solve this problem. Transportation Engineering-2 A four-lane highway (2 lanes in each direction) with 3.65m lanes has a horizontal curve designed for a 380 m centerline radius, and a 110 km/hr design speed. The grade is level. Use a driver perception reaction time of 2.5 sec and a vehicle deceleration rate of 3.4 m/sec2. Determine the closest distance any roadside object may be placed to the centerline of the inside lane of the roadway.(note: Do not round any value. Use calculated values).a) A lane merge warning sign (shown below) is being installed near an entrance ramp on a freeway with operating speeds of 80 mph. Calculate the appropriate advance placement distance (to the nearest foot) for the sign assuming a perception-reaction time of 14 seconds for the vehicle avoidance maneuver. b) A curve or turn warning sign is to be installed near a single curve with a 28 mph design speed (per ball-bank indicator) on a rural 2-lane roadway. The prevailing speed of traffic on the approaching tangent section is 62 mph. Calculate the advance placement distance upstream of the curve PC for this sign (to the nearest foot). Also indicate the appropriate sign to be used (curve or turn) and the appropriate safe advisory speed if one is to be posted for this curve.Because of a visible obstruction along a horizontal curve drivers can only see a stop sign until they are at 250 feet upstream of the sign. Can vehicle stop before the stop line if the perception reaction time is 2.5 seconds and deceleration rate is 11.2 ft./s^2 what should be a reasonable posted speed limit
- 1. A road with a design speed of 55 mph has a utility pole located 27 ft from the edge of travel lane. If the ADT for the road is 1,850 vpd and the sideslope slopes down at a 1V:4H grade, is the utility pole located within the clear zone? 2. For the utility in Problem 1, will the utility pole be located too close to the road if it is on the outside of a horizontal curve with a radius of 2,000 ft?A two-lane minor road intersects a two-lane major road at 90° forming a four-leg intersection with traffic on the minor road controlled by a yield sign. A building is located 125 ft from the centerline of the outside lane of the major road and 35 ft from the centerline of the nearest lane of the minor road. Determine the maximum speed that can be allowed on the minor road if the speed limit on the major road is 45 mi/h.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.)

A warning sign for the curve is clearly visible for a distance of 150 ft. How far in advance of the curve must the sign be located to ensure that vehicles have sufficient distance to decelerate safely?
