A new section of Richmond Highway is being designed as a six-lane facility (three in each direction) with a two-way left-turn lane. Determine the peak-hour LOS. (Assume commuter traffic, 5% trucks, and no RVs.) Traffic data: demand volume = 3,120 veh/h PHF = 0.95 assumed base free-flow speed = 55 mi/h Geometric data: urban setting rolling terrain lane width = 11 ft shoulder widths = 4 ft (right side) and 1 ft (left side) average access point spacing = 12 points per mile on each side LOS A LOS B LOS C LOS D LOS E LOS F
Assume that passenger car equivalents are 1.5 for trucks (ET), 1.6 for left-turns (EL), and 1.4 for right-turns (ER), and saturation flow qs= 160 x (curb-to-curb width / # of lanes) equivalent passenger-car units per hour per lane (pcu/hr/ln). Pedestrian walk speed (PS) is 4 ft/sec, and the effective width of crosswalk (WE) is 9 ft. Given that the intergreen time is 8.0 seconds and lost time is 3.5 seconds per phase, design a 2-phase signal timing plan using the Webster’s method.

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. If the PHF is 0.85 and there are 4% large trucks, 3% buses, and 2% recreational vehicles, what is the level of service of Julia Vargas avenue??
