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

28.If the coefficient of friction between vehicles and the roadway is 0.4 and the radius of
the curvature of the road is 30 meters, what is the maximum speed allowable if there is
