- A particular roadway segment has a 6000-ft section of 3% upgrade, followed by a 5000-ft section of 5% upgrade. The traffic on the road includes 8% trucks and 4% recreational vehicles. Determine the PCEs.Problem 2. New freeway is being designed on a level terrain, free-flow speed 70 mph 12-ft lanes, 6-ft lateral clearance Peak hour volume 2700 veh, 12% heavy vehicles PHF = 0.92 FIND: Number of lanes for LOS CA Class II two-lane highway needs to be redesigned for an area with rolling terrain. During the peak hour, 380 vehicles are traveling in the analysis direction and 300 vehicles are traveling in the opposing direction. The PHF is 0.92. The traffic stream includes 8% large trucks, 2% buses, and no recreational vehicles. What is the maximum percentage of no-passing zones that can be built into the design with LOS C maintained?

The traffic stream includes 8% large trucks, 2% buses, and no recreational vehicles. What is the maximum percentage of no-passing zones that can be built into the design with LOS maintained?A divided multilane highway is being designed on rolling terrain. The LOS is desired to be no worse than LOS C. The highway will have five access points per mile, 11-ft lanes, a 4-ft shoulder on the right side, and 2-ft shoulder on the left. The peak-hour factor is 0.84 with 13% heavy vehicles. How many lanes should be constructed if the expected DDHV is 4000 vehicles/hrA basic segment of a rural freeway has the following characteristics: • Four-lanes (two lanes in each direction)%3B There is one ramp within 3 miles upstream, and 2 ramps within 3 miles downstream; 10-ft lanes; Right shoulder width of 4 ft; • Level terrain;. 10% trucks and 5% buses in the vehicle stream. Calculate the FFS at this freeway section and then determine the level of service (LOS) when the flow rate is 1740 pc/h/In. (Write the answer for the LOS in the box below).
