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?
A two-phase signal system is installed at an un-signalized + intersection with channelized left-turn lanes and shared through and right-turn lanes. Using a suitable diagram, determine the possible conflict points. Indicate the phasing system used.
Draw a space – time diagram for traffic within a tunnel. Assuming there exist a 2-lane before the tunnel but the tunnel itself is 1-lane and after the tunnel the road returns to being a 2-lane.
