A six-lane urban freeway is to be constructed along 1.8 km with 3.5% upgrade. There will be three lanes per direction, each lane having a width of 3.5 m. The highway will have 0.6 m lateral clearance. Up to 0.5 interchanges per km will be permitted for this highway. The following have been assumed: Design hourly volume, V Percentage of trucks and buses, Pr Peak hour factor, PHF Driver population Average passenger car speed, S = 3,100 vehicles/hour = 6% = 0.90 = 0.95 = Free flow speed, FFS Predict the level of service of this urban freeway when it begins operation.

Transcribed Image Text:A six-lane urban freeway is to be constructed along 1.8 km with 3.5%
upgrade. There will be three lanes per direction, each lane having a width of
3.5 m. The highway will have 0.6 m lateral clearance. Up to 0.5 interchanges
per km will be permitted for this highway. The following have been assumed:
Design hourly volume, V
Percentage of trucks and buses, Pr
= 3,100 vehicles/hour
= 6%
Peak hour factor, PHF
Driver population
Average passenger car speed, S
= 0.90
= 0.95
= Free flow speed, FFS
Predict the level of service of this urban freeway when it begins operation.
