Answer the following: True/False: Adjusting the yellow interval at an intersection may be used to address dilemma zone at a signalized intersection approach. True/False: Using a peak hour factor of 0.95 or higher when determining critical cycle length ensures that during peak hour there is as little unused green time as possible. True/False: Traffic treatment of channelized right turns is not addressed in the HCM as a deterministic treatment. True/False: MUTCD traffic signal warrant provide option for using lower volume thresholds for signalizing intersections in isolated rural communities.
