Assume that a two-lane small road crosses a two-lane main road at a right angle making a four-leg intersection where the traffic on the small road controlled by a yield sign. A shopping mall is located 108.24 ft from the centerline of the outside lane of the main road and 12 m from the centerline of the nearest lane of the minor road. Determine the maximum velocity (in km/h) that can be allowed on the small road if the speed limit on the main road is 39.77 mph. Grades of both the roads are leveled.

A two-lane minor road intersects a two-lane major road at 90 degrees, forming a four-leg intersection with traffic on the minor road controlled by a yield sign. A building is located 40 ft from the minor road. If the speed limit were 45 mi/h on the major road and 25 mi/h on the minor road, determine the minimum distance that the building can be located from the centerline of the outside lane of the major street.

The road becomes a class-III two-lane highway after reaching a long bend in the road. The speeds don’t typically change off-peak at the transition, and width/clearance/access are consistent after the transition too. There are 50% no passing zones. What is the LOS of the two-lane highway?

A single lane road is designed for a speed of 75kmph having a two-way traffic with radius of 350m. Determine the following (use different reaction time for question i, ii & iii). Stopping Sight Distance for plain road. Stopping Sight Distance for ascending and descending gradient of 1/75. Overtaking sight distance.

A horizontal curve along a two-lane highway with 12-ft lanes is designed with a central angle of 29.93 degrees and a superelevation rate of 8 percent. The station of the PC and PI are 100+00.00 and 103+22.36, respectively. Given this information: a. Determine the design speed of this curve. (12 points) b. Calculate the distance that must be cleared from the center of the inside lane in order to provide sufficient stopping sight distance (8 points)

A 6-lane two-way arterial road has a maximum flow of 6,000 vehicles per hour on one direction. It is operating at 3,600 vehicles per hour at time, t=0. A collision occurs, blocking the two lanes, and restricting the flow of the third lane to 1,800 vehicles per hour. After 45 minutes, the MMDA and police have cleared the incident and traffic returns to normal as soon as the queue has already dissipated. a. Determine the maximum length of queue that...

Two tangents of a proposed road meet at station 12+25.00 at a deflection angle of 29°33'00". A 630.00 ft radius circular curve will be used to connect these two tangents. b) Layout this curve by the deflection angles and chords method. Use full stations of 100 ft. Tabulate the results and do the usual check.

Two of the main moral considerations were the status of the fetus and the right of the pregnant woman to make decisions that affect her own body. Regarding the status of the fetus, the question is whether a fetus is a person. For many this is an important question because if the fetus is a person, then it is immoral to kill it; if it isn’t, then abortion is morally permissible. Regarding the rights of the pregnant woman, it is...

Two used car dealerships compete side by side on a main road. The first, Harry’s Cars, always sells high-quality cars that it carefully inspects and, if necessary, services. On average, it costs Harry’s $8000 to buy and service each car that it sells. The second dealership, Lew’s Motors, always sells lower-quality cars. On average, it costs Lew’s only $5000 for each car that it sells. If consumers knew the quality of the used cars they were buying, they would pay...
