Question 1 of 3

A signalized intersection approach has a saturation flow rate of 1,800 veh/h/lane, a green ratio (g/C) of 0.45, and a volume of 600 veh/h in a single lane. The volume-to-capacity (v/c) ratio for this approach is most nearly:

A 0.56
B 0.74
C 0.83
D 0.93
Question 2 of 3

A horizontal curve on a two-lane highway has a radius of 300 m and a design speed of 80 km/h. Using a maximum superelevation rate of 8%, the minimum required side friction factor per AASHTO is most nearly:

A 0.04
B 0.08
C 0.12
D 0.16
Question 3 of 3

A stopping sight distance calculation assumes a perception-reaction time of 2.5 seconds and a deceleration rate of 3.4 m/s². For a design speed of 100 km/h, the stopping sight distance is most nearly:

A 130 m
B 155 m
C 185 m
D 205 m
