Determine the minimum green times (in s) for each approach if the effective crosswalk width in each direction is 8 ft and the number of pedestrians crossing during an interval is 24 in the
N-S direction and 29 in the E-W direction. (Assume the average speed of pedestrians is 3.5 ft/s, and that it is feasible to disregard the yellow change and red clearance intervals.)
