Question

A two lane highway has experienced an increase in traffic over the past ten years. It has gone from a quiet rural road to a busy road due to population growth in the area. Because of this growth, traffic problems have also increased and highway accidents occur very often, some being fatal. What is NOT a viable engineering solution to the problem?

Responses
A create more turn only lanescreate more turn only lanes
B create more divided highwayscreate more divided highways
C design an interstate system through the areadesign an interstate system through the area
D redesign bad intersections with stoplights

Answer 1

The question seeks a non-viable engineering solution to increased traffic on a previously quiet two-lane highway, where all provided options could potentially be viable solutions for traffic management.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is about finding NOT a viable engineering solution to the traffic problems on a two-lane highway that has become busier over time. A viable engineering solution could be to create more turn only lanes, create more divided highways, design an interstate system through the area, or redesign bad intersections with stoplights. These solutions are intended to alleviate traffic congestion, improve safety, and manage the increased flow of traffic due to local population growth and development. However, the student's question asks for an option that is NOT a viable solution, which is not straightforward as all options presented could potentially address the traffic issues depending on the specific circumstances.
