Study Notes
Wave Dynamics and Depth
- A wave at water depth equal to or greater than half its wavelength is significant in wave characterization.
- Types of waves include significant, deep water, equivalent deep-water, and highest waves.
Surveying and Sampling
- Avoid bias by ensuring every individual in the target population is invited to respond.
- Selecting representative individuals based on characteristics can lead to bias.
- A proper sampling method gives each combination of individuals equal selection chance.
- Sending a large volume of surveys compensates for low response rates.
Lane Markings and Their Purpose
- Thermoplastic lane markings provide visual, audio, and motion warnings to motorists.
- Different types of lane markings include regulatory signs, chevron markings, diagonal markings, and rumble strips.
- Lane lines must not continue:
- Across signalized intersections.
- Across one-way side street entrances.
- Beyond the taper of multi-lane road narrowing.
Safety Barrier Considerations
- Warrant for safety barriers considers:
- Slope steepness and back slope height.
- Hazards in the clear zone, such as unforgiving and water hazards.
Traffic Signage
- Guide signs inform road users of directions, distances, and points of interest.
- Types of traffic signs include regulatory signs and warning signs.
- Painted pavement messages should ideally be limited to six words or less.
Pavement and Curb Markings
- Four types of pavement markings are longitudinal lines, transverse lines, lane lines, and center lines.
- Shoulder paving preserves pavement integrity, enhances edge line placement, prevents vehicle skidding, and is low maintenance.
- Types of pavement markings and benefits can include integrity, width, safety, and maintenance cost.
Design of Overtaking and Climbing Lanes
- Considerations include lane design specifics but details were not provided in the text.
