Submission Date: 01-11-2023

inute traffic counts on cross roads 1 and 2 during peak hour ue

’ as 150 nd 140 vehicles, respectively approaching the intersection in the

observed of : er traffic flow. If the amber times required are 4 and 3 seconds

eet is for two roads based on approach speeds, design the signal timings by

Fiat and encle ‘method. Assume an average headway of 2.5 seconds during green
period.
