Question 1

What does the term 'cycle length' refer to?

  • Time for a complete traffic signal sequence
  • Duration of green light only
  • Amber light duration

💡 Hint: Consider all phases involved in a signal operation.

Question 2

True or False: Lost time affects the actual green time available.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about how signals operate during transitions.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A four-legged intersection with different flows of traffic needs to determine an efficient cycle length. If traffic is consistently high and flows are 800 vph (North-South) and 600 vph (East-West), what would be the optimal cycle length considering a lost time of 2.5 seconds and a V/C ratio of 0.9?

💡 Hint: Mind the saturation flow and adjust your calculations accordingly.

Question 2

With given traffic flows of 750 vph (North-South) and 500 vph (East-West), what would the total delay be for one full cycle if the effective green time allocated is 18 seconds?

💡 Hint: Focus on which values are needed from the relationships outlined with Webster’s Delay formula.
