As a Traffic Engineer, what type of intersection control will you propose? What is the basis of your proposal?arrow_forwardDetermine whether a T intersection (one leg on the minor approach) with the hourly volume data satisfy MUTCD Warrant 3 (peak-hr vehicular volume) for signalization. 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_forwardDraw the intersection diagram for the given traffic volume summary of a T-intersection: (base on the image)arrow_forward
