Flow on a freeway with two lane was 1600 veh/hr/ln, and the density of 16 veh/km/ln. Due to maintenance work on the left side of the road, 12 km of the road were closed, there was increasing in density to be 29.8 veh/km/ln and backward moving shockwave speed with 8 km/hr. 1. Find the speed and flow of the right side in the maintenance section. 2. How many vehicles (per lane) will be in the platoon after leaving the work zone?
