A four-lane urban freeway segment has a peak demand volume of 3,500 vehicles per hour for the two eastbound lanes. The PHF is 0.95 and there are no trucks, buses or RVs because the freeway is classified as a parkway and such vehicles are prohibited. The segment has 12 ft lanes, no lateral obstructions, 3 ramps within the influence area, and meanders through some beautiful rolling terrain. Assuming the road will be used by commuters and those familiar with the road, what is the flow rate (pcphpl)? Provide your answer to the nearest integer.

Drainage of Pavements

Pavement Drainage holds ample significance, as it prevents the accumulation of water or any liquid on the surface of pavements and ensures proper drainage system. With proper design and gradual slopes provided, the water gets easily removed from the surface into the drains, which are essential during heavy rains and unusual weather conditions keeping it less prone to accidents and increasing the durability of the pavement structure.
