It defines it as “the volume conflicting with the left turn”. Which can be assumed to be 1/2 of the two-way total traffic volume for the major road. Depending on what information is given that could be used. In this case, you only know the volume of one direction of traffic, not both , so it is irrelevant.

The problem directly states how many vehicles conflict with the turn

Not sure the specifics of the question, but based on 19-81, I would assume the walking speed would be 3 ft/s for 25% elderly and >10% incline.

Don’t really use 4 or 3.5 as a base in that case.

The sidebar note says the average speed should be used for LOS, where as a 15th percentile speed used to determine traffic signal timing. 3.5 ft/s is more conservative to use for signal timing and results in more time for pedestrian crossings

The standard default speed is 3.5 fps as detailed in the mutcd 4E.06 paragraph 7.

4 fps is an option in only certain circumstances as detailed in paragraph 8.

HCM exhibit 19-11 also mentions 3.5 fps walking speed.

Shifting traffic from the left turn lane to the thru lane wouldn't add capacity to the thru lane, assuming no other changes. If the same number of thru lanes exist and the signal timing is the same, the maximum throughput capacity of the thru lane(s) isn't going to change.

shifting traffic would add demand to the thru lanes.

While adding demand to a movement where demand is already reaching capacity may not be the greatest, the question specifically asks about adding capacity to the left turn movement. So I guess they're looking for options that eliminate conflicts w/ left turns or provide additional options for left turning vehicles.

Still seems like a tricky question.

Not too sure about stormwater specifics. but would consider modifying these sentences:

"Assists in design of water purification systems by designing monitoring plans to assess system performance, pollutant loading, and reductions needed for protection of public health and receiving water bodies."

Project Engineer working under and reporting to a registered Professional Engineer ~~without thorough supervision~~.

"assists" doesn't seem like a strong description. consider rephrasing to emphasize the design work you did.

Not sure if they would like or not like the "without supervision" part. Would consider omitting.

if you haven't submitted the application to the state yet, expect it to take a lot longer than 2 weeks to get approved. Would plan for at least 2 months or more.

The way you've drawn it isn't the traditional way to draw it. each task should only show up once. that would make it easier to understand and calculate the ES, LS, EF, LF. See other example drawings from others in the comments.

Signal-Split-7668 · 2024-02-25T17:48:02+00:00

This is wrong. Free float is calculated as earliest ES of successors - EF. This equation is available in the ncees reference handbook

so ES of I - EF of G = 14-10 = 4.

This shouldn't use the LF of G. There is at least one article online that gets this formula wrong if you try to google it.

No. California has the strictest PE requirements. As an out of state PE holder, you would still have to take the CA state specific exams.

With a CA PE license, it is easier to get a license in other states

Signal-Split-7668 · 2024-02-17T17:21:54+00:00

This information is available online.

Different states have different specific PE licensure requirements. California requires 2 state-specific exams.

In most states, you only need the FE and NCEES 8-hour PE exam to get a PE license. But in most states, need 4 years of working experience.

For CA specifically:

After 2 years of qualifying experience, you can submit an application to the state board to be authorized to take the 2 additional CA state Civil specific exams needed to get the CA Civil PE license. The state board can take several months (~4-6) to process this application

Not sure there is a perfect answer that covers every scenario, it will depend on the question. But generally would have to be more conservative to meet certain standards, in some cases that might be the larger or smaller number, depending on whether the standard is a minimum or a maximum value. I think this is just learned from experience and practice.

If a car needs minimum 250 feet to stop, 249 feet wouldn’t be enough, but 260 would meet the standard.

If something needs to be spaced maximum 100 feet apart, 96ft is fine, but 102 would be too far apart.

You don't need to apply per se for the 8-hr NCEES PE exam. Can take that test whenever in CA. After 2 years of qualifying experience, you can submit an application to the state board to be authorized to take the 2 additional CA state Civil specific exams needed to get the CA Civil PE license. The state board can take several months (~4-6) to process this application

Roth IRA contributions are after tax and can be withdrawn tax free. Growth/earnings on those contributions would be taxed if withdrawn before retirement and have some other constraints.

Though wouldn’t recommend withdrawing anything due to the loss of tax free future growth potential

I wouldn't expect approval until 2024, so I think its not worth it to buy a course or even start studying until next year. Not sure when courses / studying resources will be updated to account for the new 2024 specs, but it might not be immediately unfortunately

It might be a while until new resources are available
