Determine an appropriate yellow interval for a signal phase under the following
conditions:
Approach speed limit: 40 mi/hr
Perception-reaction time: 1.5 sec
Deceleration rate: 11.2 ft/s 2
Vehicle length: 20 ft
Width of intersection (to be traversed): 60 ft.
Assume no grade.
If theres no all red clearance phase, what should the yellow interval (Y) length be?
If theres an all red clearance phase, what should the yellow interval (Y) and all red
interval (AR) be?
