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

The speed of the car is 100 kph while the speed of the cargo truck is 80 kph. What percent greater is the speed of the car compared to the truck?
