Determine the minimum green times for each approach in Problem 8-11 if the effective crosswalk width in each direction is 8 ft and the number of pedestrians crossing during an interval is 30 in the E-W direction and 25 in the N-S direction.

What will be an ideal response?


Since the effective crosswalk width WE for each approach is 8 ft < 10 ft, the

minimum green time will be determined by Equation 8.14.

For N-S approach,

L = 2 x 12 x 2 + 12 = 60 ft,

Sp = 3.5 ft/sec,

Nped = 25.

The minimum green time is



For E-W approach,

L = 3 x 12 x 2 + 16 = 88 ft,

Sp = 3.5 ft/sec,

Nped = 30.

The minimum green time is
