A northbound (NB) freeway segment is on a 4% upgrade from station 430+60 to 397+60 and has the
following properties:
three 11-ft wide lanes,
a 5-ft right shoulder, and
a ramp density of 1 per mile in the 3 miles before and after the mid-point of freeway segment.
The peak-hour factor is 0.9 and northbound traffic during the peak hour is 2,400 vehicles, with 20% HVs
