A six-lane freeway is being designed for a location in rolling terrain. The expected free- flow speed is 65 mph. Lane widths will be 12 ft and right shoulder widths will be 6 ft. During the peak hour, it is expected there will be a directional peak- hour volume of 2700 vehicles with 12% heavy vehicles in the traffic stream. The PHF is expected to be 0.90. Determine level of service.

A six- lane freeway (three lanes in each direction) in a scenic area has a measured free- flow speed of 55 mi/ h. The peak- hour factor is 0.80, and there are 7% SUTs and 3% TTs in the traffic stream. One upgrade is 4.5% and 1.5 mi long. Free-flow speed is 70 mph. If the peak- hour traffic volume is 3900 vehicles, determine level of service?
