Paper format. National Examination, December 2019 — 16-Civ-B7,
Transportation Planning & Engineering. Three hours. Closed book; one two-sided aid
sheet 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. The mark split is printed as a
per-sub-question table on the last page and is reproduced in each heading below.
All seven questions are solved here, because the set is a study resource.
