For undivided, multilane highways and highways with a two-way-left-turn-lane (TWLTL), no left-side lateral restriction is assumed and a left side lateral clearance value of 6 ft is applied. Therefore, what is the total lateral clearance (ft) for a 5-lane highway (4 lanes separated by a TWLTL) with a right side lateral clearance of 2 ft? Response Feedback: The total lateral clearance is equal to 6 ft for the TWLTL plus 2 ft for the right side lateral clearance.

The 2 southbound lanes of a four-lane (i.e. 2 lanes each direction) urban freeway are 12 ft wide. There is at least 6 ft of lateral clearance on the right side of the outer/right lane. There are two ramps within the influence area (i.e. within 3 miles upstream and 3 miles downstream of the center of the segment. What is the estimated FFS (mph)? Provide the answer to the nearest tenths. Response Feedback: The BFFS of 75.4 mph is reduced by 1.28 mph to account for the presence of ramps.
Civil Analysis of highway section A portion of a four-lane multilane highway with a full median carries 2,600 vehicles per hour during peak hours in the busiest direction. In the traffic flow, there are 2% RVs and 14% trucks. The facility's regular users are mainly motorists. The segment under study is a mile-long, 3% sustained gradient. PHF equals 0.88. Field research has been done to establish that the facility's free-flow speed is 55.0 miles per hour. What degree of service will be provided during peak hours at this facility?

A new four-lane divided multilane highway (two lanes in each direction) is being planned with 12-ft lanes, 6-ft shoulders on both sides, and a 50-mi/h speed limit. One 3% downgrade is 4.5 mi long, and there will be 4 access points per mile. The peak-hour directional volume along this grade is estimated to consist of 1800 passenger cars, 140 SUTs, and 60 TTs. If the peak-hour factor is estimated to be 0.85, what level of service will this segment of highway operate under? What is the percent trucks - PT? What is the value of the passenger car equivalence factor - ET? What is the heavy vehicle factor - fHV? What is the median adjustment factor - fM?
H. W: A car hit a tree at an estimated speed of 35 mph on a 3% downgrade. A skid mark of 100 ft is observed on the pavement followed by 250 ft on the stabilized shoulder. Estimate the initial speed of the vehicle just before the pavement skid was begun. Use f = 0.45 for the pavement and f = 0.20 for the stabilized shoulder.
A temporary diversion has been constructed on a highway of -3% gradient due to major repairs that are being undertaken. Determine the speed limit that should be imposed on the diversion if drivers can see the sign inform ing them of the diversion at a distance of 400 ft from the diversion and the posted speed limit on the highway is 60 mph.
