It has 11-ft lanes, 2-ft shoulders, access frequency of 10 per mile, 50% no-passing zones, and a base FFS of 55 mi/h, determine the level of service for this two-lane highway segment.A six-lane divided highway (three lanes in each direction) is on level terrain with 6 access points per kilometer and has 3.6-m lanes, with a 1.2-m shoulder on the right side and a 0.6-m shoulder on the left side. The peak-hour factor is 0.80, and the directional peak-hour volume is 3,500 vehicles per hour. There are 5% large trucks and 3% recreational vehicles. A significant percentage of non-familiar roadway users are in the traffic stream (the driver population adjustment factor is estimated as 0.85). No speed studies are available, but the posted speed limit is 80.5 km/h. Determine the level of service.
- A six-Lane urban freeway (three lanes in each direction) is on rolling terrain with 11 feet lanes, obstructions to 2 feet from the right edge of the travel pavement, and eight ramps within three miles upstream and three miles downstream of the mid point of the analysis segment. The traffic stream consist primarily of commuters. A directional weekly peak our volume of 2300 vehicles is observed, with 700 vehicles arriving in the most congested 15-min period. If the traffic stream has 15% large trucks and buses and no recreational vehicles, determine the level of serviceA four-lane undivided multilane highway (two lanes in each direction) has 11-ft lanes, 4-ft shoulders, and 10 access points per mile. It is determined that the roadway currently operates at capacity with PHF= 0.80 and a driver population adjustment of 0.9. If the highway is on level terrain with 8% large trucks and buses (no recreational vehicles) and the speed limit is 55 mi/h, what is the directional hourly volume?A four-lane rural freeway segment has a 510 m grade length of 2% upgrade followed by a 630 m grade length of 3%. The freeway has 3.4-m lane, 1.5m left-shoulder lateral clearances and interchanges spaced at every 25 km. During the peak hour, there are 6% trucks, 2% buses, 2% recreational vehicles and the rest are passenger cars. Driver population adjustment is determined to be 0.90, peak hour factor is 0.90 and the BFFS is 110 km/h. At present, the freeway operates at capacity during the peak hour in the direction in question. If an additional 3.4 m lane is introduced, and all other factors stay the same, what will be the new level of service?
- A freeway is being designed to carry a heavy volume of 5000 veh/h on a regular weekday in rolling terrain. If the PHF is 0.9 and the traffic consists of 90% passenger cars and 10% trucks, determine the number of 12-ft lanes required in each direction if the highway is to operate at level of service C. The free-flow speed is 70 mi/h, there is no lateral obstruction, and interchanges are 3 mi apart.A six-lane urban freeway (three lanes in each direction) is on rolling terrain with 11-ft lanes, obstructions 2 ft from the right edge of the traveled pavement, and nine ramps within three miles upstream and three miles downstream of the midpoint of the analysis segment. The traffic stream consists primarily of commuters. A directional weekday peak-hour volume of 2300 vehicles is observed, with 700 vehicles arriving in the most congested 15-min period. If the traffic stream has 15% large trucks and buses and no recreational vehicles and at some point, further along the roadway there is a 6% upgrade that is 1.5 mi long.

- A four-lane urban freeway segment has a peak demand volume of 3,500 vehicles per hour for the two eastbound lanes. The PHF is 0.95 and there are no trucks, buses or RVs because the freeway is classified as a parkway and such vehicles are prohibited. The segment has 12 ft lanes, no lateral obstructions, 3 ramps within the influence area, and meanders through some beautiful rolling terrain. Assuming the road will be used by commuters and those familiar with the road, what is the flow rate (pcphpl)? Provide your answer to the nearest integer.a six-lane multilane highway (three lanes in each direction) has a peak hour factor of 0.90, 3.3 meter lanes with a 1.2 meter right-side shoulder, and a two-way left turn lane in the median. the directional peak hour traffic flow is 4000 vehicles with 8% large trucks and buses and 2% recreational vehicles. the driver population factor has been estimated at 0.95. what will the los on this highway be on a 4% upgrade that is 2.4 kilometers long if the speed limit is 90 km/h and there are 9 access points per mileA six-lane freeway (three lanes in each direction) in rolling terrain has 10-ft lanes and obstructions 4 ft from the right edge of the traveled pavement. There are five ramps within three miles upstream of the segment midpoint and four ramps within three miles downstream of the segment midpoint.
