A eight-lane multilane highway (four lanes in each direction) currently operates at maximum LOS C conditions. The measured FFS is 60 mi/h. The highway is on rolling terrain with 12% SUTS and 12% TTs, and the peak-hour factor is 0.92. If 13.2% of all directional traffic occurs during the peak hour, determine the total directional traffic volume.

Concept explainers

Intersection Design

An intersection is a location where two or more roads or railways meet or join. The traffic movement is controlled at the intersection that depends on its design and type. It governs the operation, efficiency, speed, capacity, and safety of the highways, airways, and railways. The movement of the pedestrian causes hazards and delays at the intersection.

Question

A eight-lane multilane highway (four lanes in each direction) currently operates at maximum LOS C conditions. The measured FFS is 60 mi/h.
The highway is on rolling terrain with 12% SUTS and 12% TTs, and the peak-hour factor is 0.92. If 13.2% of all directional traffic occurs during
the peak hour, determine the total directional traffic volume.

A 5% upgrade on a six-lane freeway (three lanes in each direction) is 1.25 mi long. On this segment of freeway, there is 3% SUTS and 7% TTs, and the peak-hour factor is 0.90. The lanes are 12 ft wide, there are no lateral obstructions within 6 ft of the roadway, and the total ramp density is 1.0 ramps per mile. What is the maximum directional peak-hour volume that can be accommodated without exceeding LOS C operating conditions in veh/h? Round of your answer to whole number. Blank 1
Determine the value of PTSF for a 6-mile two-lane highway in rolling terrain. Traffic data are as follows: • Volume = 1600 veh/h (two-way) • Percent trucks = 14% • Percent RVs = 4% • Peak hour factor = 0.95 • Percent directional split = 50 - 50 • Percent no-passing zones = 50
A developer has applied for a construction permit to build a supermarket at the southeast cornerof an intersection that is formed by a four-lane divided highway in the east-west direction and atwo-lane road in the north-south direction. Traffic on the two-lane road is controlled by a stop signat the intersection. The speed limit on the four-lane highway is 88 km/h. using the sight trianglerequirements at the intersection (Case B1), determine whether permission should be given for theconstruction if the following conditions exist.
