A two lane single carriage-way is to be designed for a design life period of 15 years. Total two way traffic intensity in the year of completion of construction is expected to be 2000 commercial vehicles per day. Vehicle damage factor = 3.0. Lane distribution factor = 0.75. Assuming an annual rate of traffic growth as 7.5%, the design traffic, expressed as cumulative number of standard axles, is
