For the PM it looks like traffic engineering and signal design were your weakest, really get to know the MUTCD and HCM.  Not sure if you use them in your day to day work, but they can seem overwhelming on first glance. A lot of the traffic engineering questions are simple look up or plug and...

I hope i solved it.....

I would agree that the AM seemed to go a little better than the PM.  A lot more conceptual questions on the AM than I was expecting, but all seemed fairly straightforward.  Kind of froze on the first two questions, but after 5 minutes my brain kicked in and started to logically look at problems...

I believe your initial thought is correct for vertical curves PVC=PVI- (L/2)=PVT-L PVT=PVI+(L/2)=PVC+L The V in PVC, PVI, and PVT is for "vertical".  The equations for vertical curves and horizontal curves cannot not be used interchangeably (as vertical curves are parabolic).   Also...

For horiz For horizontal yes, seems like the topic is jumping back and forth between horizontal and vertical curves.

Agreeing with others, always use:  PC=PI-T PT=PC+L

I found these explanations of zero force members helpful: http://www.ae.msstate.edu/vlsm/truss/analysis_of_statdet_trusses/zfm.htm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAb_ezELQ_Y

Bump Scanning thru the old pratice problems,  possible to get a worked out solution to this?

HCM Eq. 11- 2 vp=V/(PHF X N X fhv x fp) Where: V=2250 vph PHF=.92 N=2 (no. of lanes) fp=1 (assume 1 unless otherwise stated) fhv=1/(1+Pt(Et-1)+Pr(Er-1))  HCM eq 11.3               Pt=.07 (Percent Trucks + Percent Busses)               Et=2.5  (Exhibit 11-10 Rolling Terrain)            ...

Is it C. 1359? Thanks for posting one, preparing for April. In your opinion is this more likely to be an AM or PM problem?
