Transportation Design Problem

Putting some serious thought into this T highway, I have found the
most efficient way to proceed the project. This is by far the best way for
traffic wise and rush hours. With the traffic lights or stop signs replaced by
this design the traffic will flow much better. With these ramps it is much

more feasible for vehicles to keep their speeds of 45-55 mph at the highest
grade of 5%. With a short cut budget of about $2,818,228, it will help with
the budgeted project schedule of 203 days40.6 weeks.
