Traffic Engineering

  1. A sign is required to be put up asking drivers to slow down to 30 km/h before entering Zone Y (see figure). On this road, vehicles require 174 m to slow down to 30 km/h( the distance of 174 m includes the distance travelled during the perception – reaction time of drivers). The sign can be read by 6/6 vision drivers from a distance of 48 m. The sign is placed at a distance of x m from the start of Zone Y so that even a 6/9 vision driver can slow down to 30 km/h before entering the zone. The minimum value of x is ________ m. Direction of vehicle movement.
    1. 132
    2. 19
    3. 142
    4. 96
Correct Option: C

For a 6/6 person, driver can see from 48 m.

For a 6/9 person, driver can see from 48 ×
6
= 32m
9

Vehicle requires 174m to slow to 30 kmph.
Minimum distance, x = 174 – 32 = 142m
