The current roadway has 12 ft lanes with 4 ft shoulders. The proposed alignment would expand to six 11-ft lanes with 2 ft shoulders. The road carries 3000 vehicles in the peak hour in one direction, with 925 coming in the peak 15 minutes. The truck mix is 70/30 and makes up 10% of traffic. What is the density and LOS (level of service) before and after the proposed change?
- A new section of a freeway is to be designed with a free-flow-speed of 65 mph along of 0.75 mile on 5% upgrade. The expected traffic volume is 4200 v/hr. The traffic composition is 15% trucks, 5% recreational vehicles, and 10% buses. The peak hourly factor is 0.9, the unfamiliar driver factor is 0.95. If the design requirement is to target a level of service (B), how many lanes must be provided to satisfy the design requirement?A two-lane rural highway carries a peak hour volume of 465 (vph) and has the following characteristics: Roadway: 60mph design; 11 foot lanes, 2 foot shoulders; rolling terrain; 60% no-passing zones; length = 3 miles. Traffic: 70/30 directional split; 4% trucks; 2 percent recreational vehicles; 1 percent buses; PHF = 0.95 a) What Level of Service will the highway operate under during peak periods? b) What is the capacity of the highway? Explain why this is less than 2,800 (vph)?QUESTION 1 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.
