Answer the following question about a basic freeway segment based on Highway Capacity Manual 2016 (assume right-hand traffic and use U.S. customary units): A six-lane freeway (three lanes in each direction) operates at the maximum service flow rate (MSF) of LOS D conditions during the peak hour with an observed demand volume of 3500 veh/h (one direction). The free flow speed (FFS) of the freeway is estimated to be 65 mi/h. The freeway is on rolling terrain and the traffic...
