A six-lane freeway (three lanes in each direction) in mountainous terrain has 10-ft lanes and obstructions 1 ft from the right edge. There are five ramps within three miles upstream of the segment midpoint and four ramps within three miles downstream of the segment midpoint. The traffic stream consists of mostly commuters with a peak hour factor of 0.84, peak-hour volume of 2500 vehicles, and 4% recreational vehicles. What is the level of service? (Write the letter only)
An existing Class I two-lane highway is to be analyzed to determine the level of servicein each direction, given the following information:Traffic data:PHV = 600 veh/h60% in the peak direction8% trucks2% recreational vehiclesPHF = 0.86No passing zones: 40%Geometric data:Rolling terrainBFFS = 55 mi/h (88 km/h)Lane width = 11 ft (3.3 m)Shoulder width = 2 ft (0.6 m)8 access points per mile (5 access points per km)
A two-lane rural highway carries a peak hour volume of 465 (vph) and has the following characteristics: Roadway: 60mph design; 11 foot lanes, 2 foot shoulders; rolling terrain; 60% no-passing zones; length = 3 miles. Traffic: 70/30 directional split; 4% trucks; 2 percent recreational vehicles; 1 percent buses; PHF = 0.95 a) What Level of Service will the highway operate under during peak periods? b) What is the capacity of the highway? Explain why this is less than 2,800 (vph)?
A four-lane basic freeway segment on level terrain is being redesigned. The current roadway has 12 ft lanes with 4 ft shoulders. The proposed alignment would expand to six 11-ft lanes with 2 ft shoulders. The road carries 3000 vehicles in the peak hour in one direction, with 925 coming in the peak 15 minutes. The truck mix is 70/30 and makes up 10% of traffic. What is the density and LOS (level of service) before and after the proposed change?
Traffic volume is 2578 veh/hr with 687 vehicles arriving in peak 15 minutes.There are tow lanes, 12 percent trucks(30/70 split for SUT/TT), the length of the road is 1.8 miles long with a 3.5 percent grade. calculate the analysis flow rate?
A new section of a freeway is to be designed with a free-flow-speed of 65 mph along of 0.75 mile on 5% upgrade. The expected traffic volume is 4200 v/hr. The traffic composition is 15% trucks, 5% recreational vehicles, and 10% buses. The peak hourly factor is 0.9, the unfamiliar driver factor is 0.95. If the design requirement is to target a level of service (B), how many lanes must be provided to satisfy the design requirement?
