Repeat Problem 7-22 for an oblique intersection with an acute angle of 35°.
What will be an ideal response?
The acute angle will increase the distance traveled by a vehicle making a left turn.
The original distance W1 = 12 × 2 + 8 = 32 ft, and the distance actually traveled is
Hence the extra distance traveled is D = 56 – 32 = 24 ft, which is equivalent to
two lanes. The adjustment in tg for the extra distance is 0.7 × 2 = 1.4 sec, such that
tg = 10.55 + 1.4 = 11.95 sec.
For practical purposes, this may be rounded to 970 ft.
