Paper format. National Examination, December 2018 — 16-Civ-B7,
Transportation Planning & Engineering. Three hours. Closed book; one 8.5 in × 11 in
aid sheet hand-written on both sides is permitted, plus an approved Casio or Sharp
calculator. Seven questions, all of equal value (20 marks); any five constitute a
complete examination and only the first five that appear in the answer book are
marked. All seven are solved here, because the set is a study resource.
