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?
During peak periods, “Trotro” drivers use the shoulders as travel lanes on the section of the Kasoa road approaching the toll booth from the West Hills Mall direction. As a Highway Engineer, what design intervention would you propose to prevent the shoulders from being used as travel lanes during congested period or as part-time shoulders but still function as shoulders?
