**Question 1:** When performing a pavement assessment, why are transverse, longitudinal, and alligator cracking weighted higher than shrinkage cracking?

A. Transverse, longitudinal, and alligator cracking do not occur often.
B. Transverse, longitudinal, and alligator cracking are signs of progressive subbase failure.
C. Shrinkage cracking only is encountered with concrete pavements.

**Question 2:** What is the purpose of performing a pavement assessment?

A. The study results take the politics out of deciding which roads to address.
B. A quantitative value is obtained for each street based on the qualitative pavement characteristics.
C. Both A and B.

**Question 3:** Why is the pavement assessment methodology described in class credible?

A. Because anyone can make the assessment.
B. Because it is not subjective.
C. Because the same two evaluators inspect each street resulting in the values for each being relative to each other.

**Question 4:** What is the role of a municipal engineer?

A. Review land use applications.
B. Provide engineering reports to the Mayor and Council.
C. Perform road, storm sewer, and sanitary sewer designs.
D. Prepare paperwork on engineering matters for various agencies.
E. All of the above.

**Question 5:** Why would a municipality hire a consulting engineering firm versus hiring an in-house engineer?

A. In-house engineers are not effective.
B. In-house engineers typically do not have a lot of experience.
C. A consulting firm can provide more extensive services than one person can provide.

**Question 6:** What facets of engineering can be evaluated in a land use application submitted to a planning or zoning board?

A. Stormwater management
B. Traffic engineering
C. Site grading
D. Lighting
E. All of the above

**Question 7:** What is the main purpose for the inclusion of Context Sensitive Design in a project?

A. So that a project includes items that are environmentally sensitive.
B. So that the context of cutting-edge design elements is included.
C. So that local stakeholders provide input into the design.

**Question 8:** What is an example of Context Sensitive Design?

A. Inclusion of decorative features into the design such as stone facing on bridge parapets.
B. Inclusion of environmental stormwater management features.
C. Inclusion of LED lighting.

**Question 9:** What is the goal for the concept of Complete Streets?

A. Increase safety.
B. Meet ADA standards.
C. Include pedestrians and cyclists as part of the roadway users.
D. All of the above.

**Question 10:** Which is not an appropriate location for a roundabout?

A. Heavy left turn movements.
B. High pedestrian volumes.
C. High accident rates.
D. Intersections with 5 approaches.

**Question 11:** In comparing a modern roundabout to a conventional intersection, why are accidents considered less severe?

A. There are fewer vehicles maneuvering through a roundabout.
B. The vehicles are more or less moving in the same direction at lower speeds.
C. Drivers are generally more aware when in a roundabout.

**Question 12:** Why is utility engineering considered a key design challenge?

A. Unknown utilities encountered during construction cause delays.
B. It is easy to locate existing utilities.
C. Utility companies readily know where their facilities are located.
D. All of the above.

**Question 13:** Which below is a proven method to reduce utility schedule delays?

A. Meet with utility companies several times during the design and establish professional relationships.
B. Rely solely on as-built plans supplied by a utility company.
C. Allow the contractor to locate utilities during the construction phase as the contractor possesses the equipment needed.

**Question 14:** Why is environmental permitting a key design challenge?

A. Permitting greatly impacts the design schedule.
B. Environmental regulations impact what can be designed.
C. Both A and B.

**Question 15:** Why is it important to identify any component of the project that falls outside of the right of way?

A. Because the respective property owner will then need to pay for that portion of the project.
B. Because the purchase of right of way greatly increases the design duration.
C. Because the property owner can stop the design.

**Question 16:** What are the two design controls of Traffic Calming?

A. Speed and volume.
B. Speed and alignment.
C. Speed and safety.

**Question 17:** If your design goal is to control the traffic volume, which method would you not consider?

A. Forced turn island.
B. Narrowed lane.
C. Intersection median island.

**Question 18:** Which is the go-to manual for designing signs and pavement marking?

A. ADA
B. NJDOT Roadway Design Manual
C. MUTCD

**Question 19:** For a bridge replacement project, which MPT plan typically will lower the construction cost and shorten the construction duration?

A. Total road closure with a detour.
B. Staged construction.
C. Both A and B are the same.

**Question 20:** A horizontal curve has a 2,400-foot radius with a design speed of 55 MPH. The road is an Urban Freeway and has one 12-foot lane in each direction. What is the super elevation rate (in %), and what is the super elevation runoff (in feet)?
