Tubibi Highway is a Class II Two-lane highway that is considered a level terrain. Based on the data, 1,631 passenger cars travel on average per hour for both directions with a directional split of 50/50. A maximum of 388 passenger cars is recorded within a 15-min time segment of the peak hour. The traffic stream contains 2% large trucks, 3% buses, and 3% recreational vehicles. Determine the opposing direction flow rate in pc/hr. Answer in two decimal places. 2,953.65 776 margin of error +/- 0.5

4) Determine the level of service (LOS) for a freeway segment with the following data. Show all steps involved. Demand volume (3452 vehicle per hour) ● ● ● ● ● ● ● 1 Number of lanes (3 lanes in one direction) Width of lanes (11ft per lane) Lateral clearance on the right side of the freeway (4 ft) Total ramp density (2 miles between ramps, or 0.5 ramps per mile) Percent of heavy vehicles (5% trucks/buses and 0% recreational vehicles) Peak hour factor (0.927) I Terrain (level) Driver population factor (familiar drivers)
Eight lane urban freeway is on level terrain with lane width of 12 ft, right shoulder lateral clearance of 4 ft, and 12 ramps over the 6-mi analysis segment. The traffic stream consists of unfamiliar road users. Peak hour volume for a directional weekday of 3200 vehicles is observed with 900 vehicles arriving in the most congested 15-min period. If the traffic stream has 20% large trucks and 20% buses and 15% recreational vehicles, determine the exact demand flow rate (in pc/h/In). Round your answer to 3 decimal places. Exclude the unit in the answer box.

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)
You are designing a freeway as a passenger-car-only facility, and with ideal roadway characteristics. It is estimated that the freeway will have a traffic demand of 75,000 vehicles per day, a peak-hour factor of 0.88, and a directional distribution of 0.65. day. It is estimated that the freeway will have a free flow speed of 70mi/h. Determine the number of lanes (both directions) required to provide at least LOS D using the 60th highest annual hourly volume. Use k =0.11.
