Question: 6 . 2 7 . Traffic Control Devices - Lane lines on intersection approach. The three SB lanes on Northwestern Avenue ( as it enters

6.27. Traffic Control Devices - Lane lines on intersection approach. The three SB lanes on Northwestern Avenue (as it enters the "T" intersection with Cherry Lane) are marked as shown in the figure below. (SB traffic moves from right to left in the figure. Lines "C-C" represent the curb; it flares out to form a right turn only lane. Line "D-D" is the stop line at the intersection.)
A. What color should the double solid centerlines "A" be?
B. What color should the dashed lines "B" be?
C. The City Engineer wants to try to "help" SB drivers decide whether to stop immediately upon seeing a yellow indication on the traffic signal. He wants to convert the last x feet of the dashed line "B" separating the two lanes of SB through traffic into a solid line. If the signal turns yellow before the driver reaches the solid portion of the line, the driver should stop. Otherwise, proceed at a legal speed. If the speed limit is 30mph, but drivers typically approach the intersection at 35mph and the approach is 2 percent downhill, how long should the solid line be? Assume driver reaction time is 1.5sec and the coefficient of friction Is 0.35.
