- A four-lane basic freeway segment on level terrain is being redesigned. The current roadway has 12 ft lanes with 4 ft shoulders. The proposed alignment would expand to six 11-ft lanes with 2 ft shoulders. The road carries 3000 vehicles in the peak hour in one direction, with 925 coming in the peak 15 minutes. The truck mix is 70/30 and makes up 10% of traffic. What is the density and LOS (level of service) before and after the proposed change?A six-lane freeway (three lanes in each direction) in mountainous terrain has 10-ft lanes and obstructions 5 ft from the right edge. There are zero ramps within three miles upstream of the segment midpoint and one ramp within three miles downstream of the segment midpoint. The traffic stream consists of mostly commuters with a peak hour factor of 0.84, peak-hour volume of 2500 vehicles, and 4% recreational vehicles.

The traffic composition is 15% trucks, 5% recreational vehicles, and 10% buses. The peak hourly factor is 0.9, the unfamiliar driver factor is 0.95. If the design requirement is to target a level of service (B), how many lanes must be provided to satisfy the design requirement?A four-lane freeway with the following characteristics: ten foot travel lanes lateral obstructions at 0 feet at the roadside total ramp density is 4.5 ramps/mile rolling terrain The roadway has a current peak demand volume of 3500 veh/h. The peak hour factor is 0.95 and there are no trucks, buses, or RVs in the traffic stream because the roadway is classified as a parkway and such vehicles are prohibited.
