Question: Problem 1 : A three - phase signal has protected left turns in the east - west directions and permitted left turns in the north

Problem 1: A three-phase signal has protected left turns in the east-west directions and permitted left turns in the north-south directions. The first phase is the exclusive left turn phase.
a. Assuming the EB through movement has the highest volume. Label all movements and show the ring diagram for the signal.
b. If all the yellows and all-reds are 4 seconds and 2 second each, then what is the total lost time per cycle, to be used in the design?
c. If the cycle length is 90 seconds, the saturation headway is 2 s, the desired v/c ratio is 0.95, and the PHF is 0.85, what is the total critical lane volumes?
d. How many numbers were added together to give the total critical per-lane volumes?
e. Let us say that the EB Left Turn, WB Thru and NB (T+LT) show the critical volumes. If they are all equal, then what green times will you have in the design for each critical phase?
