Essential Questions 4.4

1. Why did we exaggerate the vertical scale when we did the profile layout of the road?

So that we could see the shift in height in greater detail.

2. In what ways do engineers use design to control traffic differently on an arterial opposed to a feeder street?

Arterial roads are designed to hold more traffic and with less stops than feeder streets.

3. What are some of the factors you would have to consider if you were asked to design a new parking lot for your local library?
How many people will be using it simultaneously, how much space I have to build in.

4. How would the design of ingress or egress change if a building were to be used as a day care center instead of a senior center?

The amount and placement of the doors. Also the amount and distance of parking from the door is key.
