- Rolling terrain,
- 83.0-km/h 85th-percentile speed,
- 3.6-m lane width,
- 1,500-veh/h peak-hour volume,
- 6 percent trucks and buses,
- 8 access points/km (westbound),
- 6 access points/km (eastbound),
- 0.90 PHF,
- 3.6-m and greater lateral clearance for westbound and eastbound
What is the LOS of the highway on level terrain during the peak hour?
Solution
Eastbound
PT = 0.06
ET = 2.5 (from Table 2.5)
