**QUESTION 12**

The image consists of two diagrams: "15-min Volumes" and "Lane Configurations."

**15-min Volumes:**
- This part of the diagram shows the traffic volume in vehicles per 15 minutes approaching an intersection from different directions.
- The left turn volume is marked as 60, the through volume as 75, and the right turn volume as 40.
- Arrows indicate the direction of each movement.

**Lane Configurations:**
- This section illustrates the lane layout at the intersection.
- Lanes are shown for left turning, through, and right turning movements.
- The left turn lane is separated, and there is a "STOP" sign indicated at the intersection for left turns.

**Question:**
Consider the left turn movement from the main street. If the conflicting flow rate is 280 vehicles per hour (veh/hr), and the critical headway, adjusted for heavy vehicles and grade, is 4.2 seconds, and the follow-up time, adjusted for grade, is 2.29 seconds, calculate the potential capacity, \( \text{C}_{p,4} \) (veh/h). Provide your answer to the nearest integer.
