Which of the following is NOT a type of public transportation vehicle?

  1. Bus

  2. Train

  3. Tram

  4. Ferry


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Ferries are not typically considered public transportation vehicles, as they are used for water transportation rather than land transportation.

What is the term used to describe the process of designing and constructing new public transportation systems?

Which of the following is NOT a type of traffic calming measure?

  1. Speed bumps

  2. Roundabouts

  3. Traffic signals

  4. Raised crosswalks


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Roundabouts are not typically considered traffic calming measures, as they are used to improve traffic flow rather than slow it down.

What is the term used to describe the process of managing and maintaining the transportation system of a city or region?

  1. Transportation Planning

  2. Traffic Engineering

  3. Highway Engineering

  4. Public Transportation Planning


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Traffic Engineering involves the management and maintenance of the transportation system.

Which of the following is NOT a type of transportation infrastructure?

  1. Roads

  2. Bridges

  3. Tunnels

  4. Airports


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Airports are not typically considered transportation infrastructure, as they are used for air transportation rather than land transportation.

What is the term used to describe the process of designing and constructing new bridges and tunnels?

  1. Transportation Planning

  2. Highway Engineering

  3. Traffic Engineering

  4. Public Transportation Planning


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Highway Engineering involves the design, construction, and maintenance of bridges and tunnels.

Which of the following is NOT a type of sustainable transportation mode?

  1. Walking

  2. Biking

  3. Public Transportation

  4. Driving


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Driving is not typically considered a sustainable transportation mode, as it contributes to air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
