If pedestrian volume are given for a north and a south approach for a particular road, where the volume is 10 peds/cycle in the NB direction and 30 peds/cycle in the SB approach. The way how the minimum pedestrian green time is found is NOT to sum both approaces first, but to use the higher volume (30 peds/cycle) since this will govern. This makes sense, as the lager green time would cover the smaller green time. This caught me off surprise over the weekend, where I worked a problem but I added the NB and the SB peds volume and came up with the incorrect answer for the minimum green time.
Just to feel safe for the exam....This is the approach to use, correct?
