A four-lane urban freeway (two lanes each direction) is located on rolling terrain, has 11-ft lanes, no lateral
obstructions within 4 ft of the pavement edges, and 5 on/of ramps within 3 miles upstream and 3 miles downstream
of the midpoint of the analysis segment. The traffic stream consists of cars, buses, and large trucks (no recreational
vehicles). A weekday directional peak-hour volume of 1800 vehicles (familiar users) is observed with 700 arriving in
the most congested 15-min period. If a level of service no worse than D is desired, determine:
a) the maximum number of large trucks and buses that can be present in the peak-hour traffic stream
b) traffic density under these conditions
c) traffic speed under these conditions.
