  2. Posted speed limit = 55 mi/h

  3. 2 access points per mile

  4. Lane widths = 11 feet

  5. Shoulder width (right side) = 5 feet

  6. Shoulder width (left side) = 3 feet

  7. PHF =0.80

  8. Directional peak hour volume =2000 vehicles with 7% single-unit trucks and 3 %

    tractor-trailer trucks.

Determine the level of service.
