Reference no: EM13561521

You have been asked to design a simultaneous traffic signal system for six intersections on a suburban arterial. The distances between consecutive intersections are:

Intersection A to Intersection B—3800 ft

Intersection B to Intersection C—4000 ft

Intersection C to Intersection D—3900 ft

Intersection D to Intersection E—3850 ft

Intersection E to Intersection F—3950 ft

Suitable cycle lengths for the intersections are

Intersection A—60 sec

Intersection B—55 sec

Intersection C—65 sec

Intersection D—60 sec

Intersection E—55 sec

Intersection F—60 sec

If an appropriate progression speed for the arterial is 45 mi/h, what cycle length would you use? Give a reason for your choice.
