what must be the delay between green lights on successive blocks to keep the traffic moving continuously?

The stoplights on a street are designed to keep traffic moving at 30 mi/h. The average length of a street block between traffic lights is about 80m.

1. Speed of traffic=30mi/hr length between blocks=80meters Time delay between green lights= (30*1609.344)/(60*80) = (48280.32/4800) = 10.05 seconds Thus there has to be a time offset of 10secs between successive blocks
