SHEAR
Solved DISTRIBUTION
Advantages
(a) Concrete sleepers with elastic fastenings allow a track to maintain
better gauge, cross-level, and alignment.

(e) Concrete sleepers can generally be mass-produced using local
resources.

SHEAR
Solved DISTRIBUTION
Disadvantages
(a) Handling and laying concrete sleepers is difficult due to their
large weights.

Solved DISTRIBUTION
Advantages
Properly designed traffic signals have the following uses :
(i) They provide orderly movement of traffic and increase the traffic
handling capacity of most of the intersections at grade.
(ii) They reduce certain types of accidents, notably the right angled
collisions.
(iii) Pedestrians can cross the roads safely at the signalised intersection.
(iv) The signals allow crossing of the heavy traffic flow with safety.
(v) When the signal system is properly co-ordinated, there is a
reasonable speed along the major road traffic.

SHEAR
Solved DISTRIBUTION
Advantages
Properly designed traffic signals have the following uses :
(v) When the signal system is properly co-ordinated, there is a
reasonable speed along the major road traffic.
(vi) Signals provide a chance to crossing traffic of minor road to cross
the path of continuous flow of traffic stream at reasonable
intervals of time.
(vii) Automatic traffic signal may workout to be economical when
compared to manual control
(viii) The quality of traffic flow is improved by forming compact
platoons of vehicles, provided all the vehicles move at
approximately the same speed.
