A gust of wind makes my footing unsteady, without thinking I lunge for the building for support. I need this fresh air, the office was suffocating. A walk on the sidewalk is just the break I need. The stoplight turns red. I turn my head left, then right. The coast is clear. My legs scurry across the road. Safe. The familiar sidewalks lead me past the newspaper, the post office

Every day Public Administration #3 The observed activity was crosswalks. Crosswalks enable pedestrians to cross busy and hazardous roadways more safely. Prior to the advent of crosswalks pedestrians would cross the street anywhere and were at risk of injury even by horse powered vehicles. This is important to Public Administration as it is a safety concern for the public. This paper will discuss the use, funding, government and citizen involvement, and how the chosen topic of crosswalks are related

First, in Kyoto, the traffic light for walking across the crosswalk is like a rule for people to follow so the number of car accidents is less than Bangkok. Japanese people will not walk across the crosswalk until the traffic light for the pedestrian crossing light turn to a green color while Thai people will walk across the crosswalk in every situation.

2.10 Traffic Signal Timing Consider a four-way intersection with one main street and a crossing side street, as shown in Figure 2.15. The main street is assumed to be busy in comparison to the side street. The figure also shows a state diagram of traffic signals for this intersection- one on the main street and the other on the side street. Note that for a single traffic light only one color is displayed at a time. The logical progression between states can be seen in the figure. In State 1, the

Roadways are, unfortunately, the scene where preventable urban fatalities take place. Pedestrians unknowingly crossing busy streets; drivers distracted by their phones;

The system under study was the intersection of Church street and Gould street as seen in Figure 1. This intersection was known for producing high volumes of pedestrian traffic particularly across Church street. This was because Church street is a major road in Downtown Toronto and has a decent flow of vehicles moving through. To simplify our data collection, we assumed all vehicles and pedestrians in the intersection were law-abiding. Therefore, vehicles and pedestrians were not allowed to cross

There was a small amount of white dust on the ground from the light snow the night before. The crisp air hits my hand as I hold my little sister ally's hand

INTRODUCTION: The evolution of wireless technologies in modern days helps to utilize these kind of technology in many applications like vehicle safety application, a wireless data communication between the vehicles and also between the vehicles and other infrastructure. The objectives of vehicle to vehicle and vehicle to infrastructure communications are to avoid the vehicle crashes, to examine the technological issues that may affect this short range communications, characterise the communication

A well-maintained asphalt driveway increases the curb appeal of any home. Unfortunately, asphalt does not last forever. Eventually, your driveway may begin to show its age; and that can be harmful to your curb appeal and home value.

Hilario Ramos Ms.Kemp Eng 009 Are Solar Roadways the future? In the beginning Scott and Julie Brusaw became open on the subject for creating solar-powered LED roadways, they have encountered an endless amount of doubt and even outright aggression. The reaction was obviously expected given how new this sort of technology is. Not only is it new, but it would quite difficult to execute the dream of electrifying roads and highways with reinforced solar panels. Some questioned question if whether
