3. An intersection approach has two lane groups: left-turn lane group, and through/right-turn lane
group. The control delay is 37 seconds/vehicle for the left-turn lane group, and 27
seconds/vehicle for the through/right-turn lane group. The analysis flow rate is 97
vehicles/hour for the left-turn lane group, and 450 vehicles/hour for the through/right-turn lane
group. Calculate the approach control delay and write the corresponding level of service (LOS)
for the approach in the box below.
A right-turn-only lane at the west-east approach to a signalized intersection can store
a maximum of five vehicles. The traffic volume at the approach is 900 veh/h and 20%
of the traffic take right turns. The cycle time of the traffic light is 60 s, the green time
allocated for right turns can accommodate a maximum of five vehicles. Determine the
probability that there will be a backup of vehicles waiting to turn right thus blocking
the lane.
Q3c. At a three leg (T) intersection, the two-way peak hour volume on the minor road is 500 veh/hr and that on the major road is 600 veh/hr. As a Traffic Engineer, what type of intersection control will you propose? What is the basis of your proposal?

- Assume that traffic on a single-lane approach to a signalized intersection observes the Greenshield’s speed-density relationship. The jam density on the approach is 180 veh/mile and free flow speed is 60mph. Suppose the current signal is green and the traffic is moving at 40mph and passing through the intersection. After the green time ends, the signal turns red and vehicle queue starts to build up. The signal keeps red for 60 seconds and turns green again. Answer the following questions: 1. How fast does the vehicle queue build up after the signal turns red? 2. How far the vehicles are queued in upstream, i.e. the maximum queue length?arrow_forwardA) Calculated (not rounded) clearance interval for an intersection approach of 50 mph that needs to cross 45 ft of intersection width.

All approaches have one lane entering the intersection. For the warrant that is met, explain how the warrant is met (rules applied, hours in which the volume criteria were met, etc.) and refer to necessary graphs and tables. The major street speed limit is 60 km/h, and the minor street speed limit is 40 km/h.arrow_forward
