3. An Unsignalized Intersection is shown. Due to high peak-hour-volume, signalized control is warranted. The north-south direction is one way. It has four lanes. The rightmost and leftmost lanes operate in a shared -use fashion. The East-West traffic can go both ways. This is a small street with only one lane per direction and low traffic volumes 411 lanes are 17 ft wide
a) What is the sum of the flow ratios for the critical lane groups?
b) What is the total lost time for a signal cycle assuming 2 seconds of clearance lost time and 2 seconds of startup lost time per phase?
c) Calculate an optimal signal timing (rounded up to the nearest 5 seconds) using Webster's formula.
d) Determine the green times allocation using \(\mathrm{v}/\mathrm{c}\) equalization.
e) Is this signal adequate for pedestrians?
A pedestrian count showed 7 pedestrians crossing the EB and WB lanes on each side of the intersection and 10 pedestrians crossing the NB and SB crosswalks on each side of the intersection.
3 . An Unsignalized Intersection is shown. Due to
