(a) The current highway linking Zone 2 to Zone 1 is a four-lane facility with two lanes for travel in each direction. Assume that there are no trips for other purposes during the morning peak-hour and that 90 percent of the trips for work are by automobile while 10 percent are by non-motorized modes. If each lane of roadway has a capacity of 1250 vehicles per hour, will the two lanes serving traffic from Zone 2 to Zone 1 be adequate? If no, then determine the number of lanes that will be required. Make sure you show all the steps of your analysis. (8 points)
