An urban arterial street segment 0.2 km long has an average annual daily traffic (AADT) of 15,400 veh/day. In a three-year period, there have been 8 crashes resulting in death and/or injuries and 15 involving property damage only. The statewide average crash experience for similar types of roadway is 375 per 100 mv-km for a three-year period of which 120 involved death and/or injury and 255 caused property damage only. Is the 0.2 km long street segment hazardous? In identifying hazardous locations, consider that a single death/injury crash is equivalent to three property damage crashes. Use a 95% confidence level.

A proposed improvement will widen a two-lane rural highway from 9-ft-wide (per lane) to 11-ft-wide (per lane) if the highway has an AADT of 2100 veh/day. If there are an average of 25 crashes per year on the segment proposed for improvement, and 67% of the crashes are of the type targeted by the improvement, estimate the expected number of crashes (per year) after the improvement is constructed.

ramps within 3 miles upstream and downstream of the segment midpoint. It is on rolling terrain with 10% heavy vehicles and is operating at capacity with a peak-hour factor of 0.9. If the road is expanded to four 11-foot lanes with a 2-foot right shoulder, and traffic after the expansion is projected to increase by 10% with the same heavy vehicle percentage and peak-hour factor, what is the new LOS and estimated density? P-22 Chapter 6 Problems hour. What would be the LOS before and after the heavy vehicles are allowed on the upgrade (assuming 50% SUTs and 50% TTs.)? 6.21 A multilane highway has four lanes (two lanes in each direction) and a measured FFS of 55 mi/h. The directional peak-hour volume is 1900 vehicles (the peak-hour factor is 0.80). One upgrade is 5% and is 0.62 mi long. Currently, heavy vehicles are not permitted on the highway, but local authorities are considering allowing heavy vehicles on this upgrade. If this is done, they estimate that 150 heavy vehicles will use…

A 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 maintained?
A freeway is being designed for a location in mountainous terrain. The expected free-flow speed is 55 mi/h. Lane widths will be 12 ft and shoulder widths will be 6 ft. During the peak hour, it is expected there will be a directional peak-hour volume of 2700 vehicles, 12% large trucks and buses and 6% recreational vehicles. The PHF and driver population adjustment are expected to be 0.88 and 0.90, respectively. If a level of service no worse than D is desired, determine the necessary number of lanes.
A 11.5-mile section of HYW77 has an ADT of 6300. There were 32 crashes in this section with four crashes resulting in fatalities. Determine the total crash rate (all types of crashes) and the fatal crash rates.
