A simple four-legged intersection needs a fixed-time signal. The critical lane flows in the N-S and E-W directions are 950 and 600 veh/hr/ln, respectively. Saturation flow is 1,950 veh/hr/ln and the lost time per phase is 6 seconds. Assume yellow interval is 3 seconds and all red interval is 2 seconds. Determine the cycle length and the distribution of green using Webster’s method.
