A priority intersection has a single-lane oneway traffic road crossing an undivided two-lane two-way traffic road. The traffic stream speed on the single lane road is $20$ kmph and the speed on the two-lane road is $50$ kmph. The perception-reaction time is $2.5$ s, coefficient of longitudinal ... be $50$ m and $20$ m $61$ m and $18$ m $111$ m and $15$ m $122$ m and $36$ m

A car follows a slow moving truck (travelling at a speed of $10$ m/s) on a two-lane two-way highway. The car reduces its speed to $10$ m/s and follows the truck maintaining a distance of $16$m from the truck. On fining a clear gap in the opposite traffic ...
