a six-lane multilane highway (three lanes in each direction) has a peak hour factor of 0.90, 11-ft lanes with a 4-ft right-side shoulder, and a two-way left turn lane in the median. the directional peak hour traffic flow is 4000 vehicles with 10% large trucks and buses and 2% recreational vehicles. the driver population factor has been estimated at 0.95. what will the los on this highway be on a 4% upgrade that is 1.5 miles long if the speed limit is 55 mph and there are 15 access points per mile
