1. A developer wants to provide access to a new building from a driveway placed 1000 ft upstream of a busy intersection. He is concerned that queues developing during the red phase of the signal at the intersection will block access. If the speed on the approach averages 35 mi/h, the density is 50 veh/mi, and the red phase is 20 sec, determine if the driveway will be affected. Assume that the traffic flow has a jam density of 110 veh/mi and can be described by the Greenshields model

- 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?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 signalized intersection has two lane groups. The two WBT lanes (lane group #1) have a total volume of 863 pc/h and an average control delay of 24.5 seconds. The one WBL lane (lane group #2) has a volume of 203 pc/h and an average control delay of 36.5 seconds. What is the approach's LOS? Group of answer choices LOS A LOS D LOS C LOS B
- TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING-TRAFFIC SIGNALS" Recent analysis at an approach to pre-time signalized intersection indicate that the volume-to-capacity ratio (v/c) is 0.8, htat saturation flow rate (s) is 1600 vehicles/hour, and the effective green time is 50 seconds. If the average delay, assuming D/D/1 is 11.25 seconds per vehicle, determine the arrival flow rate (vehicles/hour) and the cycle length.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.An intersection has a three-phase signal with the movements allowed in each phase and corresponding analysis and saturation flow rates shown in the table below.
