A developer has requested permission to build a large retail store at a location adjacent to the intersection of an undivided fo
ur-lane major road and a two-lane minor road. Traffic on the minor road is controlled by a stop sign. The speed limits are 35 and 50 mi/h on the minor and major roads, respectively. The building is to be located at a distance of 65 ft from the near lane of one of the approaches of the minor road. Determine the minimum sight distance required on the major road for the stopped vehicle on the minor road to safely turn right onto the major road. Design vehicle is a single-unit truck. Lanes on the major road are 12 ft wide. Hint: Adjust for the number of lanes. Given: Time gap for single-unit truck for Right turn = 8.5 sec Time adjustment for number of lanes = 0.7 sec
According to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle there is always an inherent uncertainty in measuring the position and momentum of a particle simultaneously.
