Road Capacity - anSwEr-It is the maximum number of vehicles, which have a
reasonable expectation of passing over a given section of a lane or a roadway in one
direction or in both directions during one hour under prevailing road and traffic
conditions.
I. Number of lanes
II. Lane and shoulder width
III. Terrain and road gradient
IV. Traffic composition
V. Side friction such as the presence of road furniture and pedestrians
VI. Intersection capacity, (priority of movements, traffic signal phasing, number of lanes
etc.) - anSwEr-The capacity of a route can be affected by the following factors:
2000 vph - anSwEr-Ideal capacity of a road is:
I. Turnout shall be placed at locations/poblacions where pedestrians are normally
concentrated.
II. A turnout may be placed at least 50.0 meters after a road intersection.
III. Minimum distance between two consecutive turnouts in one direction shall not be
less than 500 meters in cities/urban centers. In other areas, the minimum distance shall
not be less than 1 km. - anSwEr-The specific location of turnouts shall be determined
taking into consideration the following conditions:
15.0 - anSwEr-The required length of the turnout shall be determined considering a
length of ______meters for each bus.
, 3.60 - anSwEr-Turnout shall have a minimum width of ______ meters to accommodate all
types of vehicles.
30.0 - anSwEr-Turnout shall not be placed opposite each other but shall be placed not
less than ______ meters apart.
100 mm - anSwEr-The pavement thickness of turnout shall no case be less than ______
for asphalt.
230 mm - anSwEr-The pavement thickness of turnout shall no case be less than ______
for concrete.
a. Municipal Planning and Development Office (MPDO)
b. City Planning Development Office (CPDO)
c. Provincial Planning Development Office (PPDO) - anSwEr-What office is responsible
for zoning of their respective jurisdictions and final land use and zoning planes to be
submitted to HLURB (Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board) for approval?
I. No frontage access
II. Development set well back from the highway
III. Grade separated intersections for extremely high flows and other intersecting
expressways
IV. Number of intersections to be minimized
V. Where necessary or for emergency purposes, parking/stopping to be provided clear
of the main carriageway. - anSwEr-The following elements are to be considered when
planning Expressways:
I. Limited frontage access
II. Development set well back from the highway
III. All access to premises provided via provincial roads
