If the traffic growth rate is estimated at 4%, the percent of the traffic on the design lane is 43%, p =2.5, and SN =3, calculate the design ESAL at the design life of 25 years.

Find out the number of standard axles for a new road in plain terrain with a two-lane single carriageway, given the following data Initial traffic volume in the year of completion of construction 500 vehicle per day cvpd Traffic growth rate per annum 7.5% Design life 12 year
- Analysis of an older urban Freeway A section of an old freeway in New York City. It is a four-lane freeway (additional service roads are shown in the picture) with the following characteristics: • Ten-foot travel lanes • Lateral obstructions at 0 ft at the roadside • Interchange density = 2.0 interchanges per mile •Rolling terrain The roadway has a current peak demand volume of 3,500 veh/h. The peak-hour factor is 0.95, and there are no trucks, buses, or RVs in the traffic stream, as the roadway is classified as a parkway and such vehicles are prohibited At what level of service will the freeway operate during its peak period of demand
