- A Four Lane Freeway Two Lanes In Each Direction Is Located On Rolling Terrain And Has 12 Ft Lanes No Lateral Obstruct 1 (243 KiB) Viewed 34 times
A four-lane freeway (two lanes in each direction) is located on rolling terrain and has 12-ft lanes, no lateral obstructions within 6 ft of the pavement edges, and there are two ramps within three miles upstream of the segment midpoint and three ramps within three miles downstream of the segment midpoint. The traffic stream consists of cars, buses, and large trucks (no recreational vehicles). A weekday directional peak-hour volume of 1800 vehicles (familiar users) is observed, with 700 arriving in the most congested 15-min period. If a level of service no worse than C is desired, a.) Determine the Freeflow Speed b.) Determine the adjustment factor (Express in three decimals) c.) Determine the maximum number of large trucks and buses that can be present in the peak-hour traffic stream. (Round off to nearest integer)
