Question: A new development is being built on the west side of a two - lane, two - way arterial road. The arterial road runs north

A new development is being built on the west side of a two-lane, two-way arterial road. The arterial road runs north-south. The development will create 200 vehicle movements per hour at peak times, with 60% of vehicle trips coming from the north and 40% from the south. During the peak period, the traffic going to the south direction is 400 vehicles per hour, and to the north is 300 vehicles per hour.
a. Sketch the arterial road and the development and show the different flow values provided above in your sketch.
b. If the arterial road is signed at 65kmh, what is the correct left turn type?
c. What is the correct right turn type for the development (for 65kmh speed)? Assume that splitter island is not used.
