A freeway facility has three lanes in each direction, and it was designed to provide at least LOS C during the peak hour. The current AADT is 40,000 vehicles/day, the directional split is 70% in the peak direction, and the K factor used in the analysis is for the 50th highest hourly flow (K=0.11). The freeway has the measured freeflow speed of 65 mph, peak hour factor of 0.94, and the heavy vehicle adjustment factor of 0.89. By how much can the AADT increase without reducing the peak hour LOS to level D?

7. According to the advertisement appearing in the Albuquerque newspaper this morning, the ACE – 101 Sprinkler is this year's must-have law care device, in stock now at a hardware store near you. While a bit pricey, this is not your every-day lawn sprinkler. This is a complete "irrigation system", meeting all DEP soil and water conservation requirements. ACE –101 Irrigation System" 3 m End View A three meter pipe squirts water out of tiny holes uniformly in all directions perpendicular to the pipe (see figure), at a rate of 10 gallons/min. If the pipe is suspended 1 meter above the lawn, about how many teaspoons of water will strike a 1 square inch patch of grass directly below the pipe after watering for 1 hour? Ignore the deflection of the water stream by gravity, to first approximation.
