Question: A traffic signal control is being designed for a four - leg intersection on a divided highway with the characteristics shown in the table below.

A traffic signal control is being designed for a four-leg intersection on a divided highway with the characteristics shown in the table below.
N-S Approaches E-W Approaches
Median width, (ft)1612
Number of 12 ft lanes on each approach 32
Design speed, mph 5040
Grade 0%3%
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 22 in the N-S direction and 34 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.)
