Question:- Traffic counts in the year 2000 at a counting point on a national highway gave ADT as follows: 4000cars, 1750 taxis, 250 trucks, 100 buses. National traffic growth in the area is expected to be 5% for private cars and taxis, 3% for trucks and buses. After improvements, generated traffic for the highway will be 20 % of the 2000 ADT. It is required to design the cross-section of the highway to satisfy the traffic needs by the year 2015 show all visible dimensions on a drawing sketch. Take:- K= 0.15 PLC = 800 p.c.e'/hour. directional distribution (D) is 0.6
