Question

An intersection with a four phase signal has a displayed red time of 35 seconds, a start-up lost time of 2 seconds, a yellow time of 4 seconds, and an all red time of 1 second per phase. The total lost time is typically calculated as ____ seconds per cycle.

Answer 1

Answer:

53 sec / cycle

Explanation:

Displayed red time = 35 seconds

Start up lost time = 2 seconds

Yellow time = 4 seconds

Red time = 1 second

Total lost time L = 2n + r

L = lost time

n = number of phase

R = red time

35+2+4+4*1

= 45

L = 2x4+45

= 53 sec/cycle

The total lost time is typically calculated as 53 seconds per cycle
