Determine the number of lanes (both for upgrade direction and downgrade direction) required for a freeway section if the section is to operate at LOS C. The input data is: Number of lanes: Must be 2 or greater per direction Lane width = 11 ft Right-side lateral clearance = 6 ft Analysis segment is 0.32 miles long with a 4.0% grade V= 3500 veh/hr (primarily commuter traffic and familiar drivers) • PHF = 0.95 Traffic composition: 15 % Trucks, 2 % RVs One cloverleaf interchange per mile (ramp density = 4 ramps/mile) Clover Leaf Interchange

required for a freeway section if the section is to operate at LOSS C. The input data is:
• Number of lanes: Must be 2 or greater per direction
• Lane width = 11 ft
• Right-side lateral clearance = 6 ft
• Analysis segment is 0.32 miles long with a 4.0 % grade
• v = 3500 veh/hr (primarily commuter traffic and familiar drivers)
• PHF = 0.95
• Traffic composition: 15 % Trucks, 2 % RVs
• One cloverleaf interchange per mile (ramp density = 4 ramps/mile)
