A section of Dhotherti Highway has a 4% grade that is 1.3 km long. The highway is a six lane undivided highway (three lanes in each direction) and has 3.3 m lanes and 1.8 m shoulders on both sides. During peak hour, the traffic volume has 2800 passenger cars and 200 trucks and 75 buses, 850 of these vehicles arrive in the most congested 15 min period. A significant volume of tourists were on the traffic stream (fp=0.9). The DOTr conducted a study to improve the level of service, and found out that removing acces5 points can improve the LOS. How many access points must be blocked (considering that there are currently 14 access points along the section) to achieve level of service C? The posted speed limit is 88.5 kph.

A section of Dhotherti Highway has a 4% grade that is 1.3 km long. The highway is a six
lane undivided highway (three lanes in each direction) and has 3.3 m lanes and 1.8 m
shoulders on both sides. During peak hour, the traffic volume has 2800 passenger cars and
200 trucks and 75 buses, 850 of these vehicles arrive in the most congested 15 min
period. A significant volume of tourists were on the traffic stream (fp=D0.9). The DOTT
conducted a study to improve the level of service, and found out that removing access
points can improve the LOS. How many access points must be blocked (considering that
there are currently 14 access points along the section) to achieve level of service C? The
posted speed limit is 88.5 kph.
