8B It has been observed from field survey that 960 vehicles were occupied per 2
kilometer length of the road segment under jammed condition in the morning peak
hours. Also the free flow speed observed for the same road during night hours is
100 kilometer per hour. Calculate the maximum traffic flow per hour that can occur
on the road segment.

9A 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 3
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 three phases. 300

steel is 1750 kg/cm2, and stress of deformed bars is 24.6 kg/cm2.

10 Design the pavement for construction of a new flexible road with the following data 5
and chart given:

1. Two lane carriage way
