Students have asked these similar questions
The average normal flow of traffic on
cross roads A and B during design
period are 400 and 250 pcu per hour; the
saturations flow values on these roads
are estimated as 1250 and 1000 pcu per
hour respectively.
The all-red time required for pedestrian
crossing is 12 secs.
Design two phase traffic signal by
Webster's method.
The total cycle time of an intersection is 60 seconds, the green time for the phase is 27 seconds
and the corresponding yellow time is 4 seconds. If the saturation headway is 2.4 seconds/
vehicle, the startup lost time is 2 seconds/phase and the clearance lost time is 1 second/phase
then the capacity of the movement is
(a) 1500 veh/hr/lane
(c) 500 veh/hr/lane
(b) 700 veh/hr/lane
(d) 300 veh/hr/lane
Assume that passenger car equivalents are 1.5 for trucks (ET), 1.6 for left-turns (EL), and 1.4 for right-turns (ER), and saturation flow qs= 160 x (curb-to-curb width / # of lanes) equivalent passenger-car units per hour per lane (pcu/hr/ln). Pedestrian walk speed (PS) is 4 ft/sec, and the effective width of crosswalk (WE) is 9 ft. Given that the intergreen time is 8.0 seconds and lost time is 3.5 seconds per phase, design a 2-phase signal timing plan using the Webster’s method.
