Problem 1(Chapter 7): The figure below shows a no-control intersection. In this figure the
horizontal direction (or east/westbound) is the major road while the vertical direction
(north/southbound) is the local road. A building is located b ft from the centerline of the
right lane of a local road and a ft from the centerline of the right lane of the major road.
(1) Assume b=60ft and a=80ft. If the speed limit on major road is 45mph, the approach
grades are 1%, what should be the speed limit on local road?
(2) Assume b=60ft and a=80ft. if the speed limit on major road is 50mph, the approach
grades are -6% for major road and +4% for minor road, what should be the speed limit on
local road?
