Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given that the rotary's total traffic volume is 3600 veh/hr, and 35% of these are right turns, calculate the effective capacity using an assumed weaving width of 12 m and p = 0.6.

💡 Hint: Focus on the proportionate distribution of traffic volumes.

Challenge 2 Hard

Analyze how increasing entry width affects overall rotary capacity based on empirical observations. What changes occur in the traffic flow and capacity estimations?

💡 Hint: Review the proportional relationship between entry width and capacity.
