1A The phase diagram with flow values of an intersection with three phases is shown
in the figure below. The lost time and yellow time for the first phase is 4 and 4 4
seconds respectively. For the second phase the lost time and yellow time are 3.5
and 4 seconds respectively. For the third phase the lost time and yellow time are
2.5 and 3 seconds respectively. If the cycle time is 150 seconds, show by sketches
the time allocated to green, yellow and red for two phases. 300

The cycle time of an intersection is 100 seconds, the green time for a phase is 45
seconds, and corresponding yellow time is 5 seconds. If the headway is 3
seconds/vehicle, the start-up lost time is 3 seconds/phase, and the clearance lost
time is 5 second/phase. If all lanes are equally utilized, find the capacity of
movement for a three lane approach road.
2 The width of approaches for a rotary intersection is 12m. The entry and exit width 5
at the rotary is 10m. Table below gives the traffic from the four approaches,
traversing the intersection. Find the capacity of the rotary. (Assume, weaving width
is 25% of weaving length).
