Concept explainers

Intersection Design

An intersection is a location where two or more roads or railways meet or join. The traffic movement is controlled at the intersection that depends on its design and type. It governs the operation, efficiency, speed, capacity, and safety of the highways, airways, and railways. The movement of the pedestrian causes hazards and delays at the intersection.

QUESTION 6 An old 6-lane (3 lanes each direction) rural freeway segment has 11 ft lanes and frequent roadside obstructions located 10 ft from the right edge of the pavement. What is the estimated FFS (mph) for the 3 northbound lanes? Provide the answer to the nearest tenths.
QUESTION 1 A four-lane urban freeway segment has a peak demand volume of 3,500 vehicles per hour for the two eastbound lanes. The PHF is 0.95 and there are no trucks, buses or RVs because the freeway is classified as a parkway and such vehicles are prohibited. The segment has 12 ft lanes, no lateral obstructions, 3 ramps within the influence area, and meanders through some beautiful rolling terrain. Assuming the road will be used by commuters and those familiar with the road, what is the flow rate (pcphpl)? Provide your answer to the nearest integer.
The 4 northbound lanes of a rural freeway segment have 13 ft lane widths. There is no lateral clearance afforded on either side of the road. There are no ramps within the area of influence. What is the estimated FFS (mph)? Provide your answer to the nearest tenths.
A six-lane freeway (three lanes in each direction in mountainous terrain has 10-ft lanes and obstructions 1ft from the right edge. There are five ramps within three miles upstream of the segment midpoint and four ramps within three miles downstream of the segment midpoint. The traffic stream consists of mostly commuter with a peak hour factor of 0.84, peak-hour volume of 2500 vehicles, and 4% recreational vehicles. What is the level of service?
A four-lane basic freeway segment on level terrain is being redesigned. The current roadway has 12 ft lanes with 4 ft shoulders. The proposed alignment would expand to six 11-ft lanes with 2 ft shoulders. The road carries 3000 vehicles in the peak hour in one direction, with 925 coming in the peak 15 minutes. The truck mix is 70/30 and makes up 10% of traffic. What is the density and LOS (level of service) before and after the proposed change?
A long segment of suburban freeway is to be designed on level terrain. The level segment, however, is followed by a 4.5% grade, 2.0 miles in length. If the DDHV is 2,500 vehicles per hour with 15% trucks (standard mix), how many lanes will be needed on the (A.) Upgrade, (B.) Downgrade, (C.) Level terrain segment to provide for level of service C? Lane widths and lateral clearances may be assumed to be 12 feet and 6 feet, respectively. Ramp density is expected to be 1.0 ramps per mile. The PHF is 0.92. Good weather, no incidents, no work zones, and regular users of the facility may be assumed.
A six-lane freeway (three lanes in each direction) has regular weekday users and currently operates at maximum LOS C conditions. The lanes are 11 ft wide, the right-side shoulder is 4 ft wide, and there are two ramps within three miles upstream of the segment midpoint and one ramp within three miles downstream of the segment midpoint. The highway is on rolling terrain with 10% large trucks and buses (no recreational vehicles), and the peak-hour factor is 0.90. a.) Determine the Free Flow Speed
