A rural freeway has two lanes in each direction of flow. Each lane is 3.6 m wide and the shoulder clearance is 1.2 m. The freeway has interchanges spaced at 5 km apart. The traffic stream consists of 10% trucks and 8% RVs. An estimated factor for the driver population is 0.8. Given the maximum 15 minutes flow (i.e. PHF has already been factored) is 1 760 veh/h, determine the level of service of the freeway (consider typical Namibian condition).
