Due to traffic accident, one of the two lanes of the EDSA is blocked at 6:00 AM. Because of the traffic, the normal capacity of the highway which is 70 vehicles per min was reduced to 20.25 veh/min. The flow rate at this particular day is 50.50 veh/min. The traffic blockage was removed after 20 min. What was the total delay to traffic in veh-hrs. because of the lane blockage?. If a vehicle entered the queue at 6:12 AM, how many vehicles would be ahead of it in the queue. How long would the driver have to wait in the queue?
