COURSE: Transportation Engineering QUESTION: Julia Vargas avenue in Ortigas, Pasig is classified by the DOTR as a Class I two-lane highway on level terrain with passing permitted throughout. The highway has 3.3m lanes with 1.2m shoulders. There are 9.6 access points per km. The base FFS is 96.50 kph . During the peak hour, 480 vehicles are traveling in the analysis direction and 320 vehicles are traveling in the opposing direction.

You are designing a freeway as a passenger-car only facility, and with ideal roadway characteristics. It is estimated that the freeway will have a traffic demand of 75,000 vehicles per day, a free-flow speed of 70 mi/h, a traffic stream of primarily commuters, a peak-hour factor of 0.88, and a directional distribution of 0.65. Determine the number of lanes (both directions) required to provide at least LOS C using the 40th highest annual hourly volume (K = 0.116).
