Question 3 (20 points): The traffic volume on a 2-lane highway is 1600 veh/hr in each direction Page 3 of 6 with a density of 20 veh/mi. A large dump truck enters the traffic stream from an adjacent construction site at 20 mph and carries on this way for 2 miles before turning off to the dump site. Because flow is so high in the opposite direction, no one can pass the truck. As a result, traffic back up behind the truck at four times the density (i.e., 4x20 = 80 veh/mi) at a volume of 1000 veh/hr. How many vehicles get caught in the traffic congestion before the truck exits the highway?
