When a driver stops at an intersection because traffic is backed up, German law requires the driver to leave enough space for vehicles on the intersecting street to clear the intersection.?
This isn't really a question. Just a statement. It makes sense to not block the intersection when there's traffic. I hate when people do that.
At an intersection of two-way streets after coming to a full stop at a red traffic light a driver may?
..... wait for the light to turn green to proceed -or- if turning right - come to a full stop and after checking for oncoming traffic on the cross-street and pedestrians, turn right with caution.
How much does a traffic signal cost to install?
about $150,000 for a 4-legged intersection about $250,000-$300,000 for a highway/cross-street intersection
Who is at fault if you were turning left and someone then entered the roadway and hit you?
If it was an open intersection, the driver turning left is at fault. If there is a traffic signal, stop sign or one way street involved, it could be either driver, depending on circumstances.
How much does it cost to replace a traffic signal and pole due to an accident?
about $150,000 for a 4-legged intersection about $250,000-$300,000 for a highway/cross-street intersection
What side of the street do you walk on?
Always walk so you can see the trafic coming towards you.
When crossing a street pedestrians?
When a pedestrians crossing the street they should look both ways to make sure there is oncoming traffic. Pedestrians should also use sidewalks and only cross the street at an intersection.
Disadvantages of traffic signal control?
More AccidentsAccording to the Ohio State Department of Transportation, traffic light can "significantly increase" the number or rear-end collisions in cars stopping at the intersection. Rear-end collisions occur when one car stops and the vehicle behind him does not, colliding into the stopped car. The traffic signal works correctly for the car that actually stopped at the intersection. However, the second car either fails to recognize the stopped car at the intersection or fails to stop at an appropriate distance to avoid collision.DelayThe traffic lights ensure that vehicles from every direction get a chance to proceed through the intersection in an orderly fashion. Before the traffic light, however, there was one street (out of the two that make up the intersection) that dominated. After traffic lights are installed, the dominant street shares equal time with its cross street. This leads to congestion on one street during hours of heavy traffic, making traffic delays another disadvantage of traffic lights.Diverted CongestionTo avoid congestion, drivers will use alternative routes, usually residential streets. This is another disadvantage of traffic lights, according to the Ohio Department of Transportation. As drivers cut through the residential areas to avoid the congested stoplight, the congestion on those streets increase, especially in intersections that are regulated by a yield sign or two-way stop (stop signs on the inbound and outbound lanes of only one street in the intersection). The overload causes premature wear on the streets as well as an inconvenience for residents of the area.Civil DisobedienceFrustration with the traffic lights is already high during the hours of heavy congestion. A malfunctioning traffic light or one that tends to stick on red for a few seconds longer than usual only inflames the driver. The result is an increase in accidents from cars moving when the traffic light signals them to stop.
What is a good sentence for intersection?
You can turn right at the intersection where Main Street crosses Martin Street.
exiting a alley onto a street is not a intersection, so do you need to signal turning the same way traffic is intended to go exiting a alleyway onto a one way street?
Yes I think
When entering a highway or street from a parking lot with no stop sign or traffic do you have to stop or can you yield like an uncontrolled intersection?
The answer depends on state law. In Oregon and Washington you must stop before entering a roadway from a private drive or alley.
How does a traffic light signal work?
Traffic lights have the light sets, which emit colored light to "control" traffic. Additionally, there is support equipment that includes programmable logic controllers, or PLCs and sensors in the street. Let's take an intersection with two lanes of traffic in each direction on both roads. We'll include a left turn lane in all directions, too. Ready to look at how things work? Then let's do that by starting with the sensors. The sensors are basically coils of wire (inductors) below the pavement. A vehicle that passes over one will cause a change in the inductance of the coil. The controlling circuits will sense this and know a vehicle has passed over it. All the lanes will generally have these coils buried in the street near the intersection. Let's move on to the lights. The lights, the red, yellow and green ones, simply respond to programmed instructions. These include a combination of timing and sensor data. The timing is set by traffic engineers who use traffic data to "dial in" the controls. When enough time has passed, as set, the light will change to stop traffic along one street and allow traffic on the other street to proceed. If a vehicle passes over the sensor in the turn lane, that traffic is given a chance to cross at the beginning (or end) of flow in that direction on that street. If no traffic has crossed the sensor, that traffic lane will be ignored. In cases where a "minor street" meets a "major street" and the hour is late, the timing circuit might be "paused" to allow a constant green on the major street unless a vehicle is sensed on the minor street. Different combinations of traffic flow can be accommodated by considered programming of the controllers. One instance of this is to set up a "cascade" of green lights for traffic moving along a long street with a lot of lights. If a driver maintains a "regular" speed and traffic isn't exceptionally heavy, the driver will see the signals turning green as he approaches them. Other variations are possible, as any driver experienced in an urban setting can explain.
