During peak periods, “Trotro” drivers use the shoulders as travel lanes on the section of the Kasoa road approaching the toll booth from the West Hills Mall direction. As a Highway Engineer, what design intervention would you propose to prevent the shoulders from being used as travel lanes during congested period or as part-time shoulders but still function as shoulders? (CR,5)
7. what would the DHV of the road be if the AADT were 40,000 vpd and assume a D of .65 and How many lanes would you out on this road if the design speed was 50 mph
designing a rural highway is required so how many lanes are needed in the peak hour based on the given information:v = 4000 vehicle/ hour (per lane )level terrainPt ( trucks ) = 15%Pr = 3%Fp =1lane width 3.6mlateral clearance 1.8mphf =0.85interchange density = 0.9 interchange/km..no LOS was given and the units (metric)
QUESTION 8 The 3 eastbound lanes of a rural freeway segment have 11 ft lane widths. There is a 3 ft lateral clearance on the right side of the road. There are no ramps within the influence area. What is the estimated FFS (mph)? Provide your answer to the nearest tenths.
A 3.25-mile segment of undivided, four-lane highway is primarily on level terrain. The highway segment does, however, contain one sustained grade of 2.5% that is 3,200 ft long. Other relevant information include: Base free-flow speed = 65 mph %3! 11-ft lanes • 4 ft clearance at the roadside (right side) • 20 access points/mile Peak-hour volume = 1,900 veh/h 13% trucks; 2% RVs • PHF = 0.90 • Familiar facility users At what LOS is the highway expected to operate? (Hint: Three different analyses will be needed: a) the level terrain portion of the highway, b) the 2.5% upgrade portion of the highway, and c) the 2.5% downgrade portion of the highway.)
