Test: Parking Facility - Civil Engineering (CE) MCQ

Full clover leaf interchange provides all the required facilities for interchange and it is the most convenient to use.

Drawing the diagram according to the given instructions,

If a car enters the parking area through the entrance gate following a straight path and makes a 90° turn to the right and gets place to park, the car’s bonnet faces North.
Hence, “north” is the correct answer.

If the PCU value exceeds 10000 then the grade separators may be used as and when required.

Parking lane is the best solution to avoid the parking issue in any city either it is metro-politan city or normal city. If it is possible to provide the parking lane to park the vehicle this is the best solution.
Bus way:- It is an indented space provided adjacent to a traffic lane, mainly on the bus stop or designed to let buses embark and disembark passengers, without creating any problem to ongoing traffic.
Lay by:- It is also a area provided at the side of road where any vehicle is stop for the short time period without disturbing the flow of traffic.
Drive way:- It is a short road which is leading from a public road to a building or for parking the vehicle.

The capacity of an uncontrolled intersection is 1200-1400 vehicles/hour if there is no traffic signal or police to control it.
 

Kerb Parking or Street Parking
In this type of parking, vehicles are parked on the kerb which is designed for parking.
Angle parking accommodates more vehicles per unit length.
Maximum vehicles can be parked at an angle of 90°.
Generally used angle parking is 30°, 45°, 60°, 90°.
As per IRC, the standard dimensions of a
Car = 5 m × 2.5 m
Truck = 3.75 m × 7.5 m
Calculation:

Clover leaf is a type of inter change, it is not an intersection, whereas all the remaining are a type of intersection.

Calculation 
Let the number of two-wheelers = x
Let the number of four-wheelers = y
So, the total vehicles = x+y
Total number of wheels = 2x + 2y
According to question,
⇒ 2x + 4y = 2(x+y) + 100
⇒ 2x + 4y = 2x + 2y + 100
⇒ 2y = 100
⇒ y = 50
∴ The number of cars is 50.

If the product of fast moving vehicles and number of trains should exceed by 25000 then we have to justify the bypass road construction and if it exceeds 50000 it is mandatory.

A maximum number of vehicles can be parked at 90° parking angle.
As more will be the parking angle, less length is obstructed to the parking area perpendicular to the kerb.
This 90º parking angle may cause obstruction to the road traffic particularly if the road width is less, But it can accommodate the maximum number of vehicles for a given kerb length.
∴ The maximum number of vehicles can be accommodated at 90° parking.
Steeper the angle, larger will be parking capacity.
