Question: Given reaction time t = 1 . 0 s , travel speed S = 4 0 mi / hr on a 2 % downgrade intersection,

Given reaction time t =1.0s, travel speed S =40 mi/hr on a 2% downgrade intersection, if W =40ft, L =18ft, is 4s yellow time long enough for a driverA, who is 250 ft away from intersection, to pass stop line without accelerating?
