5. figure 5.16 shows a tunnel going trough a mountain and two streets parallel to each other- one at each intrance/exit of the tunnel. Traffic light are located at each end of the tunnel to control the crossflow of tghe traffic through each intersection.
a. Deadlock will not happen because there are two traffic lights that control the traffic.The deadlock may when some of the motorist dont follow the traffic light because there's only one bridge to drive through.
b. Deadlock can be detected when there will be a huge bumper to bumper to the traffic and there will be accident that will happen.
