A 2-lane highway has lane widths of 9ft (2.75 m), with 6ft (1.83 m) clear hard shoulders. There are no-passing zones along 40% of its length. The directional split is 70/30 in favour of the peak direction. The percentages for the various heavy vehicle types are: P, - 10% P, - 4% Px- 2% The terrain is rolling. Calculate the service flow of the highway when running at full capacity.
