Question: For the intersection shown in the plan view imagery below: Lane utilization, design hourly volumes and mean approach speeds : 1 . Assuming two phase

For the intersection shown in the plan view imagery below: Lane utilization, design hourly volumes and mean approach speeds
:1. Assuming two phase (2 green phases only) control, compute critical lane flows for the two phases. Use the left turn equivalence factor (e_L) of 1.6 even though protected left turn phases are not provided
.2. Compute clearance intervals (Yellow and Red) for both green phases using the new ITE method, round your computed values up to the next higher second. (Apply PRT t=1s ).
3. Use Webster's equation to estimate the cycle length. Instead of using the HCM "default" saturation flow of 1900 vph, assume we have measured the saturation flow value and it is 1800 vph.
4. Estimate green times for the two phases.
