A minor two-lane road (lane width = 3.4 m) intersects a four-lane divided highway (lane width = 3.5 m) at 90° forming a T-intersection. The median width on the major road is 1.75 m. The design speeds on the major and minor roads are 90 and 60 km/h, respectively. (a) Determine the minimum sight distance required for a single-unit truck on the minor road to depart from a stopped position and turn left onto the major road. (b) Determine the sight distance required by the minor-road a single-unit truck to safely complete a right turn onto the major road.
Consider divided multilane highway in Congressional Avenue (fp = 0.98) that has six lanes (three lanes in each direction) and is on rolling terrain. The highway has 3.3m lanes with a 1.8m right-side shoulder and a 1.7m left-side shoulder. The posted speed limit is 85 kph. Formerly there were 1.2 access points per km, but recent development by Makati City Central Business District has increased the number of access points to 5.2 per km. Before development, the peak-hour factor was 0.95 and the directional hourly volume was 2500 vehicles with 9% large trucks and buses and 2% recreational vehicles. After development, the peak-hour directional flow is 3000 vehicles with the same vehicle percentages and peak-hour factor. What is the level of service before and after the development of Congressional Avenue? Round-off to the nearest value for the average passenger car speed in kph.
The radius of a horizontal curve on an existing highway was field- measured to be 275 m. The on this two-lane pavement highway is 6.8 m wide, and the elevation difference between the inside edge and outside edge of the curve is 0.544 m. The posted speed limit on the road is 100 km/h. Determine the minimum radius of curvature to permit safe operation at the speed limit. 1
A two-lane minor road intersects a two-lane undivided major road at 90 degrees,forming a four-leg intersection with traffic on the minor road controlled by a yield sign.
