SIX-lan freeway lanes in direction) has regular weekday users and currently operates at maximum LOS C conditions. The lanes are 11 ft wide, the right-side shoulder is 4 ft wide, and there are two ramps within three miles upstream of the segment midpoint and one ramp within three miles downstream of the segment midpoint. The highway is on rolling terrain with 10% large trucks and buses (no recreational vehicles), and the peak-hour factor is 0.90. Determine the hourly volume for these conditions.

6.1 A six-lane freeway (three lanes in each direction)
has regular weekday users and currently operates at
maximum LOS C conditions. The lanes are 11 ft wide,
the right-side shoulder is 4 ft wide, and there are two
ramps within three miles upstream of the segment
midpoint and one ramp within three miles downstream
of the segment midpoint. The highway is on rolling
terrain with 10% large trucks and buses (no
recreational vehicles), and the peak-hour factor is 0.90.
Determine the hourly volume for these conditions.
