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 a scenic area has a measured free-flow speed of 55 mi/h. There are 7% SUTs and 7% TTs in the traffic stream. One upgrade is 5% and 0.5 mi long. An analyst has determined that the freeway is operating at capacity on this upgrade during the peak hour. If the peak-hour traffic volume is 3900 vehicles, what value for the peak-hour factor was used? Answer: Peak Hour Factor = 0.731A six-lane freeway (three lanes in each direction) has regular weekday users and currently operates at maximum LOS C conditions. The lanes are 11 ft wide, the right-side shoulder is 4 ft wide, and there are two ramps within three miles upstream of the segment midpoint and one ramp within three miles downstream of the segment midpoint.
